I is for Ibis

I is for Ibis,

“Bin Chicken” some might say.

But they’ve only dived in bins for food,

since their wetlands were taken away.

This hugely popular Blue Mountains region book is now available here!

This board book is written and gorgeously illustrated by local Wiradjuri woman, artist and primary school teacher Jessica Ann Leffley.

Jess expresses her imaginations and interactions of Australian native birds through drawing and painting. Her birds have been exhibited at various galleries and to her delight, have found homes throughout Australia. She sees her birds as friends, she talks to them as she peers outside her studio window. Her birds bring her comfort and joy, while also challenging her to explore her creativity and to appreciate the landscapes she knows as home.

Jess and Kara have recently collaborated on Seven Valleys Tourism (Lithgow region) tourist tea towel.
