Synopsis

Maggie the magpie is very surprised when she finds an extra egg in her nest. Whose egg could it be? Does it belong to the kookaburras at the end of the path? Or the galahs by the oval? Or maybe the rainbow lorikeets in the gum trees? Maggie is on a mission across the sky and through the neighbourhood to find the egg's family.

Sarah Jane Lightfoot is an experienced textile graphic designer with over 12 years of design experience. She is also a freelance illustrator specialising in watercolour and botanical illustration. She was interested in art from an early age and rarely goes a day without drawing or thinking about drawing … in fact, she’s probably thinking about drawing right now!

Down the Road, Little Bee is her first children’s book.
