Join us at The Book Cow as we welcome Tess Barker, representing herself and co-creator Tracy Ng, to celebrate the launch of their beautiful new picture book Mum Magic.

A joyful and heartwarming celebration of the special bond between mums and their children, Mum Magic shines a light on all the little things that make mums so wonderful, from their endless love and care to the everyday moments that feel just a little bit magical.

Come along for a special storytime, meet one of the creators and celebrate this gorgeous new book with us!

OVERVIEW

My mum is magic. She’s gentle and free. She does all she can to look after me. Mum Magic is a delightful rhyming picture book that celebrates mums and the magic they do every day.

ABOUT THE AUTHORS

Tracy Ng is a passionate primary and early childhood educator dedicated to nurturing a love of learning in young minds. A creative storyteller at heart, she specialises in finding beauty in the everyday. Parenting her two children inspired her debut picture book, Mum Magic, which celebrates the invisible thread of love connecting mothers and their little ones. When she isn’t teaching or writing, Tracy loves spending time in nature with her family, finding endless inspiration in the wonder of the outdoors. Tracy will be overseas at the time of our event and send her best wishes and thanks for your support.

Tess Barker graduated from The University of Newcastle with a Bachelor of Teaching and Bachelor of Fine Art and is currently a Lead Artist Educator at the National Gallery of Australia in Kamberri/Canberra. When she is not supporting learners to develop meaningful connections with works of art she can be found absorbed in historical fiction or bushwalking with her family. As a printmaker, Tess favours the graphic medium of vinyl linocut. She then handcolours the limited edition prints with watercolour paint, which often depict the animal and plant life of the Canberra region. She also enjoys the versatile combination of pencil and watercolour when illustrating children’s books as it gives her artwork a structured yet expressive quality. Tess has exhibited in solo and group exhibitions, locally and interstate, with her work being shown in the National Archives of Australia, Belconnen Arts Centre and Megalo Print Studio
