Rosh the Grumpy Corgi (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798418073365)

Rosh was a corgi who was just a little bit grumpy. He was so grumpy that he had a list of things that annoyed him. Until one day, he found the one thing that made him truly happy...

Rosh the Grumpy Corgi is a full colour illustrated children's book featuring one of the internet's favourite dog breeds - the corgi! It is a loving tribute to a real life corgi named Rosh and his unique personality. The author remembers her childhood pet in this book filled with splashes of Australiana.

A note from the author

I'm excited to launch my first self-published children's book - Rosh the Grumpy Corgi. As an aunty I've read a lot of children's books and had an idea for years to write and illustrate one of my own. I came up with the concept - a book about my childhood dog who was a corgi that our family adopted from an animal shelter as a wee puppy. His name was Rosh - he came with that name and we never worked out it's origin! Like all good corgis, Rosh was a pretty moody dog but a totally lovable character. Yes, everything that made Rosh grumpy in the book happened in real life.

All illustrations were hand-drawn using my graphics tablet. I wanted the story to reflect having grown up in the suburbs of Sydney and also my love of Australian native birds. This is why you'll see a Rainbow Lorikeet (my absolute favourite), a Galah, a Cockatoo, an Ibis (infamous-bin chicken). I fit in more Australian iconography with an Akubra hat (just like my dad wore), a Hill's Hoist clothes line, a Victa lawnmower (like we had) and a local council Sulo wheelie bin (every Aussie has one of these).
