Alyse Boaz has recently self-published two children’s picture books Royal Blue and Sammy the Rooster.

Royal Blue (2021) has an ecological message where a little girl rescues a stranded starfish then after wanting to keep it, makes the decision to return it to the sea. The last page presents facts on starfish. This book’s colourful illustrations were hand-painted by New Brighton artist, Robert Scanlan.

Sammy the Rooster (2022) has an environmental message where a rooster hops in the car when the family goes to the refuse station and is left behind. It is a touching story with a happy ending while the images highlight the amount of rubbish Society creates. The last page has an empowering message, stating what rubbish is & how it might be reduced. Teenage illustrator, Samantha Hart has brought a young perspective to the stunning images she digitally created.
