Books with author Fawcett

This concept book for kids is all about unleashing creativity, thinking outside the square and opening the mind to possibility! Part picture book, part artistic inspiration, What Could It Be? is an interactive adventure for pre-primary and primary school-aged children organised into paired double-page spreads. The first spread in each pair introduces a basic geometric shape (square, circle, triangle, etc.) and then opens the door for creative thinking by posing the question, ‘What else could it be?’ The following spread provides the answer, with the focus shape transformed into many objects in a glorious artwork. These pages provide a further interactive element as kids are encouraged to find specific objects and count the ‘hidden’ shapes. The reader is guided through the pages by the character of a young boy, who allows many aspects of his world to be ‘discovered’ via the detailed illustrations. The last page challenges kids to create their own illustrations inspired by a geometric shape.Sally Fawcett is a primary school teacher with a passion for art, creative writing and education. Her three children are a constant source of inspiration for ideas, and have triggered many of her writing and illustrating adventures. Sally’s motivation for creating picture books is to engage adults and children in a shared experience that will hopefully foster a life-long love of reading, creativity and tapping into the power of the imagination.

Nathan Foster was a coward. Kicked out of Marine boot camp and afraid to face his high-ranking Marine father, he stole his father's frequent flyer miles to run away to Thailand until he could figure out what to do with his wreck of a life. Socially inept, Nathan quickly gravitated to the bars where, for once in his life, women seemed to like him. And at 19 years old, he liked them right back. Quickly settling into a routine with other expats, he was able to forget about his failures back at home. Despite his success with bargirls, though, he formed a crush on Nok, a receptionist at his hotel. And when she invited him to her hometown for a visit, he accepted. Village life was a far cry from Bangkok's excitement, but he tried to fit in and get to know Nok better. And in doing so, he began to get a different view of Thailand, from Buddhism to farming to family life. However, when another village girl returned with her Russian boyfriend, things got tense, and Nathan the coward, Nathan the failure, makes his return. Would he simply run away again, or could he actually take a stand for the first time in his life, actually become a man?

Through the Gate tells the story of a child who has just moved house and is struggling to cope with all the changes in her life. She relates to the dilapidated house she has moved to, as she sits sad and forlorn upon its broken front step. But, as the story unfolds, the house is gradually repaired paralleling how the child's perception of her new situation improves. Each time the child passes ‘through the gate', into the world beyond, she notices more of her surroundings and discovers that her new life has some wonderful things in it. The messages delivered through this story can be understood at different levels - literal and metaphorical. Nothing stays the same and difficult times will pass. A little effort in maintenance can improve our physical surroundings, yet our perceptions also colour our world. These messages are relevant to both children and adults, as we all experience many changes throughout our lives and draw on our resilience as we adapt to them. Within the illustrations is a ‘spot the difference' game that encourages interaction with the story and develops observation skills. Younger children can be involved in spotting the more obvious changes and older children will be challenged with the more subtle transformations. This empowering picture book about resilience and coping with change is now available in paperback.Through the Gate was shortlisted for the 2018 Speech Pathology Australia Book of the Year Awards, the 2018 Australian Family Therapists Awards, and in 2017 selected for the Premier’s Reading Challenge in Australia.

Excerpt from Songs of Doubt and Dream: PoemsThe few grow sleek with gains that make their vaults Harbors of futile treasure; one throng Sweats For bread to breathe by; one, still vaster, bows In yokes of toil that drag it nigh the brute.I speak not now -oi drones that drowse in sloth And Whose one proper wage is penury.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
