Author Description

About this book: Two platypus brothers live in the steamy tropical waters of Far North Queensland, Australia, but they've grown up hearing about a faraway place called New York City. There are endless things for a platypus to experience there, and buildings that reach up higher than the birds can fly! Come along on the epic adventures of Gordon and Gogswell as they explore the iconic landmarks of New York, from biking around Central Park to front row hot dogs at Yankee Stadium. This full colour illustrated book is fun for parents too, and is guaranteed to get your whole family excited about the wonderful world of travel! About Me: Hi, I'm Leah! I'm a busy working Mom of two girls, but I've always dreamed of being a childrens' book author! During the pandemic, I have seen stress and isolation taking a toll on the mental and emotional wellbeing of kids. My hope is that while reading a book, they feel happy. Families may be at home, but they can escape and experience the wonderful world of travel and adventure together through the joy of reading. I hope you love my boo
