Hi June,
Thanks so much for the pdf, it was worth waiting for!! Looking forward to reading it with my grandchildren. It’s so lovely the effort you put in to get this up and running…we did Mira’s course together and you truly embraced it with both hands (feet, head, heart). Also I really love Helene’s drawings – you made a good team!
Lovely to have a deeper story of our amazing land and animals for the children. I hope it’s a grand success!

Hi June,
The book looks so gorgeous! Just beautifully done, from the writing, to the design, to the illustration. It’s not just a professional-looking book, but an exceptional one. I’m so happy for you both.
I look forward to seeing your writing career blossom, and I really think self-publishing this book was a good step for you. But be patient and persistent.

Congratulations,
–Jed USA (June’s mentor for the kickstarter)

Writing and illustrating a book is the first creative part of the project. Then handing your precious manuscript to a printer and a designer to bring their own expertise to the project gives the reader a book of wonder to behold. I’m so proud to be part of this wonderful project even in a very small way of reading the first draft over a year ago.

Hi June!
I just wanted to say how much I love reading your poetry! The mixture of your writing, the way it is formatted and the illustrations make it such fun reading! I want to use some of it in mindfulness sessions with my clients… “listen to the fish…”

Had a brilliant time @ Magic Fish Dreaming – June Perkins and Helene Magisson’s Launch 30th October 2016. June Perkins, beautiful cultural soul weaves through her poetry with a voice entwined with cultural remembering, family relationships with each other and the natural world – bought to life with beautiful illustrations by Helene Marie Anne Magisson. June also shared a recording of one of her poems read in her traditional language by a friend, followed by a traditional dance performance and songs by her children.
And last but not least, the Cake – Edible Art and very yum indeed.
