Local children's publisher Loose Parts Press is celebrating the launch of two new books with an event at the Blue Mountains Cultural Centre on Sunday, May 7, at 11.30am.
Goodnight, Blue Mountains is written and illustrated by Wentworth Falls resident Skye Taylor and P is for Permaculture is written by Lawson resident Sharon Baldwin and illustrated by Blaxland resident Tia Madden.
Taylor, Baldwin and Madden will be at the launch. Taylor and Baldwin will both do live readings of their books and have some art and craft activities for children.
Baldwin founded Loose Parts Press in 2020 to publish her series, The Gardeneers. Twelve of those books were released in 2021 and P is for Permaculture is her follow-up alphabet book for younger children.
Goodnight, Blue Mountains is a celebration of the natural beauty of the Blue Mountains, from fairy wrens and flannel flowers to sugar gliders and gumtrees.
Books will be on sale at the launch or buy from www.looseparts.com.au.
