Good Morning, My Deer! (Paperback) - Melanie Amon

Next, I brushed my hare and put on my new pear of shoes.

Mum painted her nails before we set out for the day.

Join Banjo and his mum on what starts as a straightforward day out, only to have it upended by homophones (two words with the same pronunciation but with different meanings), turning the narrative into the delightfully absurd. Kids and adults alike will love this joyful new wordplay extravaganza from debut author Mel Amon with illustrations by international superstar Sophie Beer. The hilarious wordplay combined with delightful illustrations have kids 'in on the joke' from the very beginning.

About the Author

Mel lives on Garigal land with her husband, her long-board, and a 3-metre avocado tree she planted by accident when composting her vegetables. Although she initially trained as a primary school teacher, she threw in the chalk to become a Clinical Psychologist (and topped her cohort in the process!). Mel now spends her days helping people of all ages with their big feelings, and drinking a lot (but really, just the right amount) of tea. Sophie Beer is an illustrator from Brisbane, Queensland. She completed dual bachelors in Law and Creative Industries at Queensland University of Technology before turning freelance. Revelling in colour, shape, and texture, she lives by one simple rule: art should never be boring. When she's not illustrating, she's usually found drinking dangerous amounts of tea and indulging in her other passion: literature.
