We have spent many happy hours writing and illustrating the Waterhole Tales
series, seated at adjoining desks, each with a laptop and the creative juices
flowing. Many times proceedings were brought to a complete standstill as we
fell about laughing as one hilarious plot after another was proposed, added to,
and finally agreed upon for inclusion.
The inspiration for writing these books came from the special time experienced
when reading to our own two boys during their younger years. We spent
countless happy hours amongst the pages, lost in our imagination as books
took us on many journeys and delightful adventures. It is our hope that you
too will enthral your children with the gift of reading, as you enter a voyage of
exploration with the Waterhole Gang.
Dedicated to our four Grandchildren; Sasha, Chase, Edie and Bram
After days of relentless rain, the animals of Waterhole Park are delighted when the sun finally returns. But their celebration is short-lived as the rising floodwaters threaten to wash away everything they know. With the water creeping higher by the minute, Olga the ostrich, Stix the giraffe, Rodney the lion cub, Verity, Harvey, Selwyn and the rest of the Waterhole Gang must work together to find safety. Along the way, they discover unexpected talents, face hilarious mishaps, and learn that courage comes in many forms. Filled with charming characters, gentle humour, and vibrant illustrations, The Flood is a heartwarming adventure that teaches young readers the importance of friendship, teamwork, and sticking together when challenges arise. Join the Waterhole Gang on a memorable journey where quick thinking, determination, and true friendship save the day. Because when the waters rise, friends rise together.
