Emmie Builds Something New—Australian Release—Free Activity Downloads
I’ve created some free downloadable activities to celebrate the October 28th Australian release of ‘Emmie Builds Something New’.
‘Emmie Builds Something New’ is my debut as both author and illustrator. It is published by Affirm Press in Australia.
Emmie the mouse is an extraordinary inventor. There is no problem she can't fix! But then a new kind of problem arrives. The type of problem that has claws, a long swishy tail and a mischievous gleam in its eyes ... Emmie is sure that she has an idea big enough to frighten the problem away. But perhaps the best way to tackle a problem is friendship, not fear?
A cat-and-mouse caper with a unique twist, this is a captivating tale that celebrates innovation, resilience and the power of kindness.

Emmie Builds Something New—Free Activity Download
I’ve created some free downloadable activities to celebrate the September 30th US release of ‘Emmie Builds Something New’.
‘Emmie Builds Something New’ is my debut as both author and illustrator. It is published by Red Comet Press in the US.
Join Emmie, a clever inventor living in her attic kingdom, as she battles a mischievous interloper with her ingenious creations, discovering that true friendship can emerge from even the most unexpected challenges. The Rube Goldberg-meets-David Macaulay art style brings a lively energy to this comic cat-and-mouse caper
In the enchanting world of Emmie, the attic is more than just a storage space—it’s her kingdom! Surrounded by dusty forgotten treasures, Emmie is a clever inventor who transforms ordinary objects into extraordinary machines, each one a testament to her creativity and engineering prowess. But when a mischievous black-and-white cat intrudes upon her realm, Emmie must put her skills to the test. Determined to reclaim her domain, she devises increasingly inventive contraptions to outsmart her furry foe.
