Cans for Change:
Genre: Children's Fiction
Daniel Jeffries knows cars. More importantly, he knows his dad’s car, a 1970 Ford XW Falcon GT, his dad’s pride and joy. Daniel helped restore it.
But then his dad became obsessed with recycling.
Now the GT is a GT – oh no!
To have a dump for a backseat is the worst. Especially when the school bully discovers Daniel.
50 Ways to Die in Space:
Genre:
Space: the final frontier.
Beautiful. Intriguing. Mysterious.
But if you go there, YOU WILL DIE!
The human body is perfectly adapted to the conditions on Earth. But blast that fragile body into the extreme and varying environments of space and it won't fare so well –and that’s only if you survive the take-off!
From scorching million degree temperatures, to pressures that would instantly squish you to the size of a ping pong ball, O'Hely and O'Sullivan present – in excruciating and scientifically accurate detail! – the physics and physiology of existing (and ceasing to exist) in deep space.

Reviews for Cans for Change:
'The hilarious tale of a father-son duo who journey through the streets of Brisbane on a quest to exchange containers at any cost.' Edward Hudswell, Editor
‘So much inspiration comes from Cans for Change for lessons in the classroom. It has much to offer in a cross-curriculum approach integrating English, the Arts, Civics and Citizenship, and Health and Physical Education too. For example, Years 5 and 6 examine the influence of emotional responses on behaviour and relationships. The characters are relatable and Cans for Change is a great stimulus across subjects, something students can identify with, discuss and explore serious issues and stigma in a non-threatening way. The comedy in the narrative allows the young reader to relax, respond and get comfortable with discussing the themes of identity and mental health.’ Wendy Edmonds, Teacher
'Lawrey’s visit was definitely an exciting and memorable experience. Our students were excited watching a real illustrator/author demonstrating his drawing skills. Lawrey captured all of the students’ hearts by drawing an animation of our Goodna Hero Teddy!!! It sure was a life-time experience for our students. Perhaps, after having this face-to-face experience, many may begin to see themselves as illustrators.' Goodna State School student
'Lawrey Goodrick’s Cans for Change explores the cost of pride and identity, through a son’s honest account of himself coming to terms with his father’s ‘recycling obsession’. Goodrick’s descriptive writing style and use of humour accomplishes a story that both emerging adults and adults will enjoy.' Ngaire McLoughlin, Visual Designer
'Witty, visual, “out there”. I absolutely loved this book, as did my 7-year-old son. And the reference to Brisbane made me even more thrilled that this author/illustrator is a local talent.' Cate Sawyer, Author
Reviews for 50 Ways to Die in Space:
"Much more enjoyable to read than a scientific paper. Who knew that dying in space could be so much fun? Fortunately, safe on Earth, the main thing you will die of is laughter. What a great introduction to some hot (and freezing cold) topics in astronomy. Eileen takes us on an unexpected yet highly enjoyable journey of discovery through our amazing Universe. I wish I'd had this in my collection when I was first dreaming of becoming an astronomer. Five Stars (just don't get too close to any of them)." Professor Christopher Fluke, Swinburne University of Technology
"This book doesn’t sugarcoat it. Space is out to get you in ways that are scary, thrilling and u-u-u-ugly. But you’ll enjoy every minute of this exhilarating read." Dr Tanya Hill, Museums Victoria Astronomer
"An exciting and deadly tour of our solar system and Universe, this graphic novel is a brilliant way to introduce young readers to the wonders of space. With engaging visuals and clever characters and dialogue, O'Hely shares her astrophysical expertise in a way that entertains and sparks curiosity about the cosmos. Her passion for science shines through, making this a must read for any budding space enthusiast!" Prof. Andrew Hopkins, Professor of Astronomy, Macquarie University
There is an urgent need for all of us to better understand not only the universe we live in but our place in it. In this engaging book by astrophysicist and author Eileen O’Hely, we not only learn about the endless and gruesome ways to die in space but about what makes the universe truly magical and fascinating. I finished this laugh-out-loud graphic novel with a renewed sense of how extraordinary it is that we exist at all and was reminded that we have this perfect home called earth that is in dire need of some TLC and kindness. This is an essential read for the young, the young at heart and everybody in-between. Gruesome, gross, and gorgeous, it is the perfect way to pass the magic on to the next generation, and the ones after that. Jo Skinner, Author

This rug is such good quality and makes me so happy every time I look at it. I'm using this one for a top cover over my bedspread. It's a perfect match for my room and linen. I have another that I use as a throw for the lounge and a picnic rug! In LOVE.

The postage was incredibly quick and the quality and colours far exceeded what I thought. The pics don't do them justice. Truly unique rugs that I doubt will date anytime soon. I would recommend - beautiful rug and great customer service.

My husband argued with me saying we didn’t need a new blanket. Once we received this one, he quickly changed his tune. It’s cozy, soft and warm. I love the design and boho vibe it adds to our home. High quality product at an affordable price.
