The cloudless sky suddenly roared like thunder. Shadows, swift and frightening, descended.

The boy’s brother grabbed him by the arm. ‘Run, quickly,’ ’But my ball.’ ’Leave it.’

From the Prime Minister’s Literary Award-shortlisted creators of Feathers, comes this compassionate tale of a family’s search for a safe place to call home.

Phil Cummings

Phil Cummings is the author of over sixty books for children, in a career that has spanned thirty years. His work has been published around the world and has received multiple awards.

Most recently, Ride, Ricardo, Ride! was a 2016 CBCA Honour Book, and Boy was shortlisted for the 2018 CBCA Book of the Year Award and won the 2017 Children's Peace Literature Award.

Phil's favourite pastimes are listening to music, trying to play guitar, watching the cricket, cheering for the Adelaide Crows in the AFL, working in the garden and walking Daisy, his little (but very bossy) Jack Russell terrier. He lives in South Australia.

Phil Lesnie

Phil Lesnie is a Sydney-based illustrator of children's books. He is also a children's bookseller. It is entirely possible that he hasn't read a title written for adults since he became one. He works primarily in watercolour, because in a watercolour painting even mistakes look lovely.

He is the illustrator of Feathers, which was shortlisted for the Prime Minister's Literary Awards in 2018. His first three books were CBCA Notable books in 2015, 2016 and 2018. But his first cat, Cassidy, is notable all of the time.
