Hi, it’s great to have you here!
I’m Alice, a mum of two little boys and passionate about creating story books that help you communicate tricky issues with little ones.
When I was pregnant with my second child, I found a lack of resources to help talk to my toddler about the changes he’d experience after I had a planned c-section.
Although we talked about what I wouldn’t be able to do, we also talked about still having lots of cuddles! And from there, the idea to write ‘Mummy has an Ouchie on her Tummy’ was born.
Mummy has an Ouchie on her Tummy
When Mummy has given birth to their baby brother or sister via c-section, it can be difficult for young children to understand why their Mummy can’t pick them up for a cuddle, carry them to bed or go swimming with them. All the little things toddlers expect!
This book helps prepare little ones for the short-term changes they experience with their Mummy during this time of family growth.
Mummy can’t do some things for a little while but she always shows her love!

I'm a dog-loving mum who gets to illustrate and design books for a living – how cool is that? As a bookworm and visual creative, I love sharing my work with amazing authors and my daughter.
My eclectic career has included dog grooming, performing with Disney on Ice, and commercial design/illustration (even for the Wiggles!), and now I'm living the dream as a book designer for Scholastic Australia and a freelance illustrator.
