'Blossom' is the short story of Ella, a young girl who finds herself moody from the hormonal changes going on within her, at the age of 10.
Ella knows why she is moody; she also knows some things
she can do, to make herself feel good again.
Follow Ella as she takes a wonderful walk down to the gumtree forest behind her house
and meets a beautiful red Eclectus parrot.
This is a story for young girls, to start them on their own unique and magical blossoming journey to becoming a young woman.

"I have been working for some time now on the process of my first children's book.
It has been a beautiful journey in which I have loved sharing with now, my dear friend, Holly who has illustrated the beautiful images I had dreamed of, whilst writing this story."

"Illustrating a book with such a profound message was so aligned with my values, it was an absolute pleasure to illustrate 'Blossom'.
I adored learning in the process of illustrating each page. And its a pleasure to work with an author who is so open minded and a true co-creator.
Walking instep is the biggest blessing for an author/illustrator relationship.
I enjoyed sharing the journey with you Meg x"
