Announcement posted by blOOturtle Publishing 12 Jan 2018

Brisbane based Writer and Journalist Nicole Madigan creates with her second book a wonderful picture story about the value of being truly yourself

Sydney 12 January 2018 — The team at eco-friendly book company, blOOturtle Publishing, is excited to release their second book Ballerina Monkey by Nicole Madigan with its lively storyline and a message beyond. 

Her first book Darcy and the Dinosaurs a wonderfully fun story with stunning illustrations. The same creators deliver again with Ballerina Monkey not only a colorful jungle story, but one which encourages all kids (and adults) to find the courage to stand up for their dreams.

The book is an “honourable tale of belief, dignity and determination that reminds us all of the value of being true to ourselves,” says Romy Sharp in her book review on justkidslit.com

Inspired by life when Nicole’s older son had been going through an “unboyish” time at the age of 4, Ballerina Monkey was written after she observing the difficulties her son was facing in front of other children and the environment. Nicole’s intention was to help him, and to tell him that he is okay just the way he is. 

“Even as adults, being true to oneself in the face of outside pressures can be immensely challenging. As a child, the opinions of others carry so much weight, and being able to shoulder that weight takes courage,“ reflects Nicole. 

But the book also teaches that sometimes you need even more than just desire to pursue your ideas. Developing your skills can be often discouraging and only resilience and determination can help you progress.

“Nicole has found with her book the core of our concern at blOO. We want to be there for kids, creating a joyful and lively world but also helping them in their development, in their future – just like our motto Thinking Kids – Thinking Planet," explains Nicola Ganaye, Creative Officer of blOOturtle Publishing, and Founder of its ground-breaking eco-friendly trOOblOO program. 

The book is available worldwide on the 18th of November via: http://blooturtle.com/product/ballerina-monkey/
