“It is a completely different storyline than the previous two books.
“The inspiration came from observing the beautiful relationship between grandparents and grandchildren and boys tinkering with their pa,” Mrs Murphy said.
The picture books are written for children aged between three and eight years-old.
Mrs Murphy was thrilled to be able to self publish.
Writing is her “retirement hobby”, and she is looking forward to publishing more in the future.
For book three, Mrs Murphy has teamed up with young Deniliquin artist Eliza Baker.
Mrs Murphy said she “could not have been happier with the eye catching results” of Eliza’s illustrations.
“I learnt a lot and I’m very proud of my work in the book,” Eliza added.
Eliza has more projects in the works and is about to undertake an art course at university, majoring in painting, in the new year.
The books are available to purchase from Leaves and Vines Nursery, Plains Designs, Deniliquin Allied Health and Deniliquin Tourist Information Centre.
