Inspired by our dog Bella and true events, "The Hulakees: Stick Fetcher" is Jarred’s first children's book and a true labour of love. Originally a collection of pencil sketches and typed pages, these sat in a drawer for years ……
With the arrival of our young children, and the Covid years, Jarred started the process of turning these into a real book. Armed with a tablet, photos, software and many cups of tea/coffee Jarred worked - mostly on late nights after the kids had gone to bed - on making digital illustrations suitable for print.
We self-published on Amazon in paperback, hardcover and Kindle formats. Then began the agonizing wait for the proof copies to arrive … and the process of correcting errors within the books! These are now available for sale on Amazon. (Or if you are interested in buying a copy, talk to us and we could maybe do a bulk order to save on shipping costs).
Finally Jarred and Vera recorded this book in audio form and it is now available for viewing on YouTube 😃
“Branches go crack
And the birds they all scatter
There’s a commotion in the bush
There’s something the matter …”
