COMP CLOSED: WIN ‘Hello Baby!’ by Shelly Unwin

This week’s giveaway is one for the little readers – Hello Baby! from children’s author and AWC alumnae Shelly Unwin. This adorable picture book celebrates the arrival of a new baby, with gorgeous illustrations by the bestselling illustrator of It's Not Scribble to Me.

Here you are. Look at you!
Tiny, precious, all brand-new.
At first you were a beating heart,
Now your life's about to start … Hello, Baby!

A sweet story that perfectly captures the special feelings that arrive with a new baby, and which will welcome that bundle of joy into hearts and homes.

Shelly Unwin is the author of the You're … series, Blast Off! and There's a Baddie Running Through this Book. She began her career as a children’s author after completing our AWC Writing Picture Books course, and hasn’t looked back since!

J­edda Robaard is a children's book illustrator and author whose work is well known here, in Australia, and internationally, having been published in many languages, including English, French, Dutch, Greek, Italian, Korean and Chinese.

To win a copy of this cute new book, tell us which ANIMAL you think has the cutest babies and WHY (in 25 words or fewer). The three entries we like best will WIN a copy of the book.

Entries close midday Monday 14 June 2021, Sydney/Melbourne time.
