She loves watching them lope across the skies and the unique sounds of their calls. From her research, Kaye has written a poetic and vivid story portraying the first vulnerable months of life for a young yellow-tailed black cockatoo and how he overcomes life and death challenges with help from his protective parents. Kaye’s previous picture book with Windy Hollow Books, When the Waterhole Dries Up illustrated by Max Hamilton, was shortlisted in the 2022 CBCA Book Awards. She’s thrilled to be creating another book with Max and Windy Hollow.  About the illustrator Max Hamilton is a CBCA and Whitley award winning illustrator, a graphic designer and most enthusiastically a maker of children’s books.
