A timeless message of hope - of love lost and found again - this story is a stunning debut that will warm your heart.
I am a lucky shack.
I spend my days watching boats bob gently
under puffy clouds, on a sparkling sea.
Surrounded by natural beauty, a seaside shack is lovingly cared for by a fisherman, until one day everything changes.
The Lucky Shack is a heartfelt and uplifting journey through the seasons, the cycle of life, and the beauty and power of nature. If you are brave enough to let the light in, love and gratitude will triumph.
Apsara Baldovino writes picture books with humour and heart and is the debut author of TheLuckyShack, due for release in July 2023. Nature, the seasons, and the tiny wonders of our incredible world inspire her writing. Apsara's passion is to dream up memorable characters, experiment with perspectives and create books that will be treasured for years to come. She lives by the sea in Sydney, Australia, with her husband, and sons and dreams of new ways to tell stories with endless cups of tea. Jennifer Falkner is an illustrator and designer based in Perth, Western Australia. Since graduating from Curtin University with a major in illustration she has spent the last 16 years of her career in art direction, textile design, brand development and illustration. Before returning to Perth in 2018, Jennifer lived and worked in Canberra, Bangkok, Jakarta and Singapore. Jennifer finds inspiration in the daily antics of her two small boys, independent bookshops, her local museum, the cinema and the rich biodiversity of Australia's south west. Her favourite mediums are gouache, watercolour, ink, pencils and Photoshop.
