Peggy lives in a small house in a quiet street. One blustery day a big gust of wind sweeps down and scoops up leaves, twigs and … Peggy!
The wind blows Peggy into the city, where she discovers strange new things, but how will she find her way back home?
A humorous and poignant story of a brave chicken on a big adventure.
Anna Walker writes and illustrates children’s books and is based in Melbourne. Her charming studio is shared with a printmaker, Rosy the lamp, a few friendly plants, and knitted, woolly creatures. Working with pencil, ink and collage, Anna develops her characters and enjoys spending time with them before they venture out into the world. Her illustrations are inspired by the everyday details of life and the amusing antics of her menagerie. Anna’s latest book with Penguin is Mr Huff, an exploration of how kids deal the worrying feelings that can accompany a bad day.
