Synopsis

Chirpy Blue is an illustrated children’s book about the native Australian bird, the Splendid Fairy-wren, predominantly found in Western Australia. Chirpy Blue tells the story of two birds - a male and a female, finding one another, and having a family. The two birds watch as their offspring grow and leave the nest. They experience sadness at this part of the offspring’s lifecycle, but they rejoice in starting another family, with more eggs, promising more baby birds, where the cycle will begin again. The book is breathtakingly illustrated, and would do extremely well in the tourist market, as well as in the domestic market.

ABOUT THE ARTIST I’m Maxine Gadd, an internationally recognized and published artist, known especially for my fairy/fantasy art. My achievements include winning the John Lunghi Award for Graphic Design 1985 being a finalist in the Black Swan Portraiture Prize 2014, In 2006, my book, Faeries and other Fantastical Folk, sold over 45,000 copies. I cover several genres, using a wide variety of mediums. The versatility of my work enables it to be reproduced widely and has been licensed to different companies, appearing as cross stitch patterns, jigsaw puzzles, T-shirts, prints, cards, etc. My art has appeared in local newspapers, FAE Magazine, on the cover of a Japanese game magazine, and on promotional posters for festivals hosted by Karen Kay of FAE Magazine. I love travelling and wish to incorporate more of it into the business. As a special guest at Faerieworlds 2008, Portland, Oregon, and in Glastonbury, England, 2014, I enjoyed meeting fellow artists and the many people who follow me on Facebook and Pinterest.
