Toxic relationships where one partner abuses the other, are not ok. The harsh reality is that there are too many victims whose lives are destroyed through physical abuse, emotional abuse or coercive control. The victims are statistically mostly women. But there are still cases of men who have been abused and they deserve justice too. There is an imbalance in the way we respond to cases of abuse where the victims are men. It is men who are commonly portrayed as the perpetrators, the abusers, and those who claim to be victims of abuse, are often not believed. This is one man's story.

A Read-Aloud story for children based around Aussie animals with beautiful lexical choices to increase the children's vocabulary. A delightful tale of adventure that evokes the spirit of animal life in the Australian bush. This is another gem among the many poetic narratives from the Award-winning author, Jenny Morris, for children's educational literature.
"Bluey Blue Tongue forms a plan, then gives out sound advice.
On how to fix a problem. He makes it sound so nice.
But is the plan just hare-brained, risky, rash, perverse,
That doesn't jot or tittle help; in fact makes matters worse?
Perhaps events unfolding strew hairline cracks of doubt?
So, is it harum scarum? Or does Bluey's plan work out?"

A joyful "read aloud" children's book written in verse - The animals first hear, then see this Thing that just appeared. Its Ballyhooo and silhouette they think is rather weird. With swooshing, spinning Whirligigs, it halts upon Mount Spring. They don't know what this twirler is, this gangly, long white...THING.

Read Aloud Series.
A delightful children's book that is ideal for reading aloud, as its rhyme and rhythm are complemented with a humorous tale about a stag who has lost one of his antlers. Here is a sample:
"Dudley, a stag well respected,
Was standing about so dejected.
One antler was lost,
Apparently tossed,
And lying somewhere, undetected."
