BRAVO !

by Moni Port and illustrated by Philip Waechter

Hardback RRP $32.99 Paperback RRP $19.99
Gecko Press

Helene loves her family, but she doesn’t love the fact that her father is always so terribly loud.
He never speaks normally; he always shouts. ‘WHERE ARE MY SHOES?’ ‘THE COFFEE IS TOO HOT!’ He’s nice, but he’s a shouter.

One day Helene has had enough, so she packs her belongings and her beloved trumpet and goes out into the world...

A warm & humorous story; a beautifully illustrated and designed picture book with subjects and themes covered including: families; fathers; respecting and supporting other people; music
