Platypus Adventures in New York

This full-colour illustrated book promises fun for parents too, guaranteed to excite your whole family about the wonderful world of travel! Join the epic adventures of Gordon and Gogswell, two platypus brothers who live in the steamy tropical waters of Far North Queensland, Australia, as they explore the iconic landmarks of New York City - a faraway place they've grown up hearing about.

From biking around Central Park to front-row hot dogs at Yankee Stadium, there are endless things for a platypus to experience in the city where buildings reach up higher than the birds can fly! Come along on their journey as they discover this vibrant, bustling metropolis.

I'm Leah, a busy working mom of two girls, and I've always dreamed of being a children's book author. During the pandemic, I've witnessed the toll of stress and isolation on the mental and emotional wellbeing of kids, and my hope is that through reading my book, they'll feel happy and able to escape, experiencing the joy of travel and adventure together with their families, even if they're at home.

Though my platypus protagonists hail from the steamy tropics of Australia, they're just as eager as any young reader to explore the wonders of New York City. Gordon and Gogswell's story is sure to transport your whole family, sparking imagination and wonder about the world beyond your doorstep.

I sincerely hope you and your loved ones will love my book, which aims to bring a sense of joy, adventure and connection during these challenging times. Reading together can be a powerful tool for families to explore new horizons, even when physical travel may be limited. So dive in, and get ready for an unforgettable journey with Gordon and Gogswell!
