Claremont Meadows author Lara Bury has just written her second children’s book but she needs the community’s help to publish it.
Ms Bury is launching a Kickstarter to raise funds to make her fun fact book Aussie Animal Adventures a reality.
“Getting your book published isn’t cheap but it’s not a donation, it’s more of a pre-order with different reward tiers,” Ms Bury said.
“I have a goal of $4,500 and it is all or nothing, so if I don’t get fully funded in that time then I don’t get any of the money pledged.”
Working on the book since July, Ms Bury said it will be a great little Australian book to add to any child’s bookshelf.
“I wrote the book to show kids the amazing animals we have and hopefully spark a love of animals that may one day lead to an interest or career in animal conservation,” she said.
“It’s different in that I’m using real photos of the animals that I took and my young son Flynn is the main character and he will be joined by a very cute illustrated quokka named Quentin.”
The Kickstarter will run from November 2 to December 1. Visit bit.ly/Aussieanimaladventures.
