Waiting at Woy Woy

Written by Robin George and Illustrated by Emily Snape

In the Australian seaside town of Woy Woy, the locals seem stuck waiting for their lives to begin. All this waiting keeps life sleepily dull.

One town member that sparks joy is a small, piano-playing mouse named Mordy. A sudden storm floods the town and poor Mordy is washed away! All the people wait to act, assuming it will be another person that takes up the cause to save our dear friend…

It takes the courage of a local dog, Tyrone, who leaps into action and becomes the hero of this stagnant town. Tyrone’s bravery encourages Young Readers to seize the day!

Readers will find themselves returning again and again to Waiting at Woy Woy’s calming, yet playful, rhyme and soft, inviting illustrations!

Robin George is a retired English and Drama teacher of all ages. While his writing credits include one-act plays and poetry, his focus is now on rhyming narratives for younger people. He has two daughters, Jeni and Melanie, and lives with his wife, Grete, in Melbourne, Australia.

Emily Snape is a children’s author and illustrator living in London. Her work has appeared online, on television, in shops and even on buses! She loves coffee and notebooks, and has three cheeky children, Leo, Fin, and Flo who keep her on her toes and give her lots of inspiration for stories.
