'Filo’s Butterflies is a charming picture book about how a young Samoan boy calms his nerves before his first siva performance at a family wedding.

'Filo is going to dance at his aunties’ Samoan wedding! He’s been rehearsing the steps for his first siva fa’ataupati for weeks, but now there are butterflies dancing in his belly.

1 y separately published work icon White Sunday Litea Fuata , Myo Yim (illustrator), Richmond : Bright Light , 2022 25310035 2022 single work picture book children's

'White Sunday is a charming own-voices story that welcomes us into the home of a Samoan family, complete with love, food, merrymaking and … adventure. A beautifully illustrated, heartwarming story for kids aged 3 and up.

'Every year in October, Sina and her family celebrate White Sunday. It’s a day when the children are celebrated at church and they get to read, sing, perform and dance in front of the community. There’s also a feast after, and the kids eat first! Maybe this year Uncle Fred will bring his green bananas in coconut cream and Sina will receive plenty of ulas for her performance.'

1 y separately published work icon Rajah Street Myo Yim , Myo Yim (illustrator), Melbourne : Walker Books Australia , 2021 20776665 2021 single work picture book children's

'Junya thinks Wednesdays are the best days, because that is when the garbage trucks come. A sweet and whimsical story from a child’s perspective about the busy world outside his window.

'Junya loves to sit at his window and watch the goings-on in Rajah Street. He watches the clouds passing overhead, kookaburras singing and skateboard riders zipping by. Today he is waiting for Wednesday. Wednesday is when the garbage trucks come, and garbage trucks are his favourite. Imaginative illustrations help capture the world through a three-year-old’s perspective in this quirky slice-of-life story.'
