She also writes picture books and blackline masters for early primary. That book was called "Special Days" Another good publisher to try is Ready Ed Publications in Perth.
Keep going
Thanks for the info. It can be a real dog eat dog industry so you have to watch the publishers pretty closely. Thankfully Christina has an agent working on her behalf who is probably worth twice what we pay for the privelage.

Christina will be in Adelaide in acouple of weeks speaking at a conference and is looking forward to meeting Max Fatchen who she has illustrated for previously.

Thanks for your comments
