Violet is a little girl with big ideas. She is always thinking. One day she starts thinking about nothing. What is nothing? Where is nothing? Is it real? A thought-provoking picture book for curious kids.
“This joyful picture book follows Violet as she looks for nothing. Where is it and what can it be? With radiant illustrations of family life and the inside of an inquisitive child’s mind, Violet and Nothing is a delightful romp from start to finish.”
—Judges’ comments, 2019 WA Premier’s Award for Writing for Children
“The highlight of this book is the incredible illustrations. The pages are bursting with colour, life and imagination and perfectly capture the inquisitive and thoughtful young Violet.” —Rebecca Blakeny, for CBCA Reading Time
Original artworks and prints from Violet & Nothing were exhibited at the State Library of Western Australia from September - January 2020.
