Grandpa, Can I Have a Hug? is a touching children’s story that follows siblings Ella and Linus as they navigate changes in their relationship with their beloved Grandpa, who has Alzheimer’s. Grandpa once filled their days with laughter, tickling, and fun activities. But slowly, he begins to change—he forgets things, loses his playful humor, and becomes unsteady on his feet. Eventually, he moves to a nursing home. At first, the nursing home feels cold and unfriendly. Ella and Linus don’t know how to connect with Grandpa there, and they miss the way he used to be. But everything improves when Grandpa moves to a new, warm nursing home where the staff welcomes visitors as part of the care team. Slowly, Ella and Linus grow comfortable in this new environment. Though it takes time, the siblings find the courage to hug Grandpa, sparking a moment of connection that bridges the gap caused by his illness. From there, they discover new ways to enjoy time with him—taking him on wheelchair “adventures” through the halls, sharing treats, and spending time as a family. Through gentle storytelling and heartfelt illustrations, Grandpa, Can I Have a Hug? helps children understand that even though loved ones may change, the love they share remains strong. The story offers comfort and encourages young readers to find new ways to connect, showing that love can endure even through the hardest changes.

One sunny day, Dad packed up his fishing gear and took Audrey, Daniel, and their Jack Russell terrier, Butch, down to the creek for a day of fishing fun. Butch, of course, was excited for a swim. Dad helped Audrey and Daniel set up their fishing lines. First, Audrey caught a small carp! She was so excited, she jumped up and down. Then, Dad hooked the biggest fish Audrey and Daniel had ever seen – a huge cod! He shouted to Daniel, "Grab the net!" The 4kg cod was a monster! "Fish and chips tonight!" Audrey exclaimed. Poor Daniel! The fish kept stealing the bait right off his hook. Hours passed, and Dad and Audrey caught lots of fish. They started to pack up, but Daniel was determined. "Even if I have to stay all night," he declared, "I'm going to catch a fish!" Just then, Daniel's line started to zip! "Get it! Get it!" Dad yelled. Daniel pulled and pulled, and up came a beautiful barramundi – almost bigger than Daniel himself! He had caught the biggest fish of the day! Dad was super proud of Audrey and Daniel. They were fishing masters! They went home smelling strongly of fish. "You better go clean up!" Mum said, "I'm not letting those stinky fish monsters back in the house!" After a good scrub, it was time for dinner. Dad cooked the delicious fish on the barbie, and told them stories of his amazing fishing adventures. He promised their next trip would be on a boat!

Oliver, a small boy, wandered into the forest with his mom, but when he turned around, he realized he was all alone.

In the vibrant depths of the Coral Sea, Octavia, a young octopus, navigates her colorful world with curiosity and playfulness. Her days are spent exploring coral gardens, mimicking the vibrant hues of her surroundings to hide from playful dolphins and gently drifting with the currents she calls her friends. One day, while seeking refuge in a shimmering seaweed forest, she encounters Ollie, a charming and adventurous cuttlefish, known for his dazzling light displays and playful antics. Ollie is unlike any creature Octavia has ever met, and his light-filled dances cast a warming glow on the ocean floor that makes Octavia's heart flutter in a way she never imagined. As days turn into weeks, the two develop a special bond filled with shared adventures and synchronized swimming through hidden aquatic paths. However, Octavia feels something blooming inside—a feeling she can't quite place—that makes her color patterns change to vibrant shades whenever Ollie is near. Conflicted but eager to understand these new feelings, Octavia seeks the wise counsel of Nelly, the ancient sea turtle, who shares tales of underwater romances and the beauty of first love. Encouraged, Octavia decides to reveal her feelings through a grand gesture: an intricate shell arrangement spelling out her admiring sentiments on the ocean floor. The story unfolds as Octavia learns to embrace vulnerability, discovers the bravery hidden within herself, and experiences the joys of growing up while navigating the challenges of expressing and understanding love in the enchanting world beneath the waves. This story plays with themes of self-discovery, friendship, and the innocence of first love, all told with the unique charm of ocean life.
