Book cover for Bear to the Rescue. By Romane Cristescu and Nic Gill. Illustrated by Sylvia Morris. A dog wearing a coat and boots smiles out at us from a burned landscape. Two koalas look down from a tree.
Book cover for The Great Shark Egg Case Hunt. By Kasey Whitelaw, illustrated by Sylvia Morris. The text is on blue waves. Four children, with varying skin and hair colours, pop out of the waves, each doing a different beach activity. Also popping out of the waves are some weird shaped objects: shark/skate/chimaera egg cases.
Book cover for When the Stars Come Out. By Tanya Hill and Sylvia Morris. A young girl looks out her window at the twilit, starry sky. A torch to the side shines on her quilt, changing the pattern from moon and stars to suns. The curtains swish around her. She is wearing shorts and a t-shirt and has pale skin, freckles and curly brown hair.
New books in 2025 ✨ From a hero dog to baby sharks to the southern night sky: telling science stories is the best!
Plus, news: I'm moving home to Adelaide next month and I absolutely cannot wait.

When I was little we used to build giant elaborate playing card houses. I’m currently writing a story where they get a little 🤏 sighting ❤️#childrensliterature #kidlit #binnytalib #kidlitauthor #picturebookillustration #australiankidlit #playingcards #australianillustrator
A peaceful forest scene. A huge, big-eyed dragonfly with intricate wings is flying in the foreground, with another following behind. In a little patch of sunlight, a girl is standing watching them. She's carrying bags and a big stick, like an explorer. Some paragraphs of text are blurred out, and there's a vertical line down the centre of the image.
Carl Sptizweg's: Der Schmetterlingjäger (The Butterfly Hunter). Two large butterflies in the foreground of a jungle scene. A man with a (far too small) butterfly net, watches on in shock. He, too, is carrying lots of bags. The overall composition is similar, but this is in portrait, where the previous was landscape.
Here, I was imagining my absolute dream project (a fully illustrated SFF poetry collection for middle grade) and adapted this Spitzweg painting to test out some techniques. #kidlitart #australianillustrator #carlspitzweg
An open sketchbook with a coloured pencil sketch by illustrator Emma Quay of a toddler girl walking across the road wearing blue rain boots and a floral aqua and pink anorak. A pink pencil lies on the page.
Do you think someone spotted me drawing her? 👀

A watercolour and coloured pencil illustration: A friendly, stylised grey heron flies over a green and orangey landscape, scattered with trees and small lakes. It is flying from right to left, from stormy skies to blue skies. A boardwalk threads through the scene, and a girl on the boardwalk looks up at the heron. We are looking down on the scene, and the perspective warps the horizon into a curve, suggesting the landscape is stretching out forever. Hand painted text: Ķemeru nacionālais parks.
Ķemeri National Park: along a boardwalk that stretches out forever, past infinitely deep lakes under a changeable sky. #kidlitillustration #kemerunacionalaisparks #australianillustrator

Pencil illustration depicting 3 teenagers portrayed as characters of books that they're reading. A pirate, a detective and a vampire
Shelved concept. The idea here is that through reading, kids get to become the hero of the story they are reading.

I wish Christmas lights stayed up all year. I think that might be why I put them in my books!✨✨✨

One page left in my sketchbook and what better way to fill it than to join in @tondocreative weekly art challenge #DrawTheWorld Reference for this week: Lake Tekapo, NZ.

i'm back on the first page now, and i seem to have overcome my anxiety about drawing backgrounds and im having fun with it again.
I'm actually starting to like where this is going, but i still need to work on that face in the right hand panel.
