Corinne Fenton is the author of 25 books for children but her
passion is picture books about social history. Her classic picture
book Queenie: One Elephant’s Story, illustrated by Peter
Gouldthorpe, was an Honour Book in the 2007 Children’s Book Council
of Australia (CBCA) Book of the Year Awards. The Dog on the
Tuckerbox, also illustrated by Gouldthorpe, was named a Notable
Book in two categories of the 2009 CBCA Awards. Flame Stands
Waiting, illustrated by Sebastian Ciaffaglione, was on the 2011
Queensland Premier’s Reading Challenge. Corinne has also published
many educational books, some translated into other languages.
Robin Cowcher is a freelance illustrator and currently lives in
Melbourne, Australia. She studied at RMIT and worked for many years
at The Age as an art director, illustrator and designer. Little Dog
and the Christmas Wish (written by Corinne Fenton) was her first
title with Walker Books Australia. Her second picture book,
Reflection, written by Rebecka Sharpe Shelberg was published in
April 2016.
Indeed if there is such a thing as a perfect “grandparents’ book’’,
this is it.
*The Australian*
From the moment you set eyes on this delightful picture book,
you’ll be sure to fall in love with it, as much as the gorgeous
little dog inside. Set in the 1950s, Little Dog and the Christmas
Wish is a beautiful book to look at, to hold and to read.
