About the event

Book Launch: Vesper Jones and Marshmallow
Come along as we celebrate the launch of Karen Hendriks' latest children's book, Vesper Jones and Marshmallow! The book is an exciting, positive story, backed by research from Flinders University, that will help young readers overcome bedtime anxieties.


ABOUT THE BOOK

Vesper Jones and her cat use a dream controller to banish Scary Things from their dreams.

Vesper Jones has grown tired of Scary Things entering her dreams. So, with the help of her trusty Dream Changer and brave cat, Marshmallow, Vesper decides it is time to take control. But when Scary Things enter her dreams again, Vesper becomes fearful and must use her imagination and courage to send them away. Can Vesper and Marshmallow outsmart the Scary Things and fill their dreams with fun and magic instead?

Vesper Jones and Marshmallow is an empowering story about confronting fears which features powerful and
expressive illustrations.


ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Karen Hendriks was a teacher until it was time for her not to just read and share picture books but write them too. For her it is always about stories, books and children reading. Karen lives by the sea in Shellharbour, Australia, where she snorkels with stingrays, whale watches and becomes a story spy in local coffee shops. Karen is curious and travels whenever she can. Her favourite places are in Europe, especially Greece, the Czech Republic, and Germany. She dreams to one day swim with whale sharks and wishes plastic didn’t exist because it’s killing our oceans.
