About

Meet Stanley. The lone star Brush Turkey in search of the perfect spot to build his nest. But things are not easy for the one they call ‘Pest’. Will Stan overcome the barrage of backyard obstacles, as he sets out on his adventure?

STANLEY the picture book, transforms the everyday habits and lifecycle of a Brush Turkey into an engaging story with a whole lot of personality. Authors Louise Zirbel and Rachel Salmon have carefully crafted the story, using rhyme and repetitive phrasing, to make the story fun and engaging for children and adults alike. Illustrator Barry Patendaude has brought the words to life through his bold and bright pictures that are quintessential to the East coast of Australia.

STANLEY is sure to be a favourite read-a-loud for all ages!
