1 y separately published work icon A Kinder World Roger Chao , Roger Chao (illustrator), Dandenong Ranges : Roger Chao , 2024 29183611 2024 single work picture book children's

'In the heart of every child lies the seed of kindness, a potential for compassion that can transform the world. "A Kinder World" is not just a book; it’s a journey into a land far away, yet remarkably close to our hearts and homes. This beautifully illustrated tale invites children and parents alike into a world where animals roam free, living lives filled with joy and dignity, untainted by fear or harm. It's a narrative that weaves the magic of storytelling with a profound message: the choice to live a life of kindness and compassion towards all living beings.

'Through the eyes of Sue, a young, insightful girl, readers embark on a transformative journey. Witnessing the stark contrast between the peaceful existence of animals in their natural habitats and the harsh reality of farms, Sue's innocent questioning sparks a powerful dialogue about the ethics of our choices and the impact of a vegan lifestyle.'  (Publication summary)

1 y separately published work icon Anthem for Tomorrow's Child Roger Chao , Mentari (illustrator), Australia : Roger Chao , 2024 28258235 2024 single work picture book children's

'Anthem for Tomorrow's Child is a special book, like a big hug from a parent, full of loving advice for growing up. It's a story about being brave, kind, and honest, and learning how to understand others. The book shows that it's okay to make mistakes and that we can learn from them. It tells us that it's important to say sorry when we do something wrong and to forgive others too. This wonderful book helps kids learn how to be their best selves, face tough times with a smile, and be proud of who they are, making their own amazing story in life.'  (Publication summary)

'Follow the adventures of a young girl as she discovers that animals have feelings like she does and the joy of living a kind and compassionate lifestyle. Join her on her quest to spread the message to others around the world that they too can make a choice to shine.
