1 y separately published work icon This Is NOT a Book! Kellie Byrnes , Aśka (illustrator), Wollombi : Exisle Publishing , 2021 22775632 2021 single work picture book children's

'In this fun-filled picture book, our main character is convinced they’re not in a book. After all, if this was a book, there’d be pages to turn … Oops! We’ve turned the page.

'But that’s not proof this is a book. If it was a book, there’d be interesting settings and problems to solve. Hold on! Why is our lead character being chased by a lion? Why are pirates stealing treasure? And are those mermaids playing in a rock band?

'This is NOT a Book! is the perfect introduction to how to tell a story.' (Publication summary)

'Yes! Cheeky racoon smells delicious pie. No! The pie is out of reach . . .

'Follow the amusing adventure of an enterprising racoon as he engages in a rollercoaster struggle against all kinds of hilariously ridiculous odds. Does he win the pie?

1 y separately published work icon Evie Is All Ears Kellie Byrnes , Lesley McGee (illustrator), Armidale : Little Pink Dog Books , 2020 18549949 2020 single work picture book children's

'Evie loves school. She loves seeing her friends, using her long snout to sniff out food, and digging with sharp claws through fresh dirt. But unlike her classmates, Evie can’t hear the teacher’s instructions… no matter how hard she tries. When a way for Evie to be “all ears” arrives, is this little bilby willing to accept the help?
'A gentle, stunning exploration of a relevant issue with a look at the life of one of Australia’s most endangered mammals… prompting discussion and
understanding.' (Publication summary)
1 y separately published work icon Cloud Conductor Kellie Byrnes , Ann-Marie Finn (illustrator), Capalaba : Wombat Books , 2018 13767171 2018 single work picture book children's

'Frankie loves to just sit and watch the clouds. She conducts symphonies in the sky and listens to the melodies that only she can hear.

'As the seasons pass, Frankie is taken away from her bedroom on the tales she creates. Even when illness means she can’t leave her bed, Frankie can escape to the beach with shimmering waves or the outback with thundering horses.

'Readers will be enchanted as they learn to become cloud conductors too, no matter where they are or what situation they are in. Cloud Conductor inspires imagination that can be shared over and over.'
