What's Your Story?

Berbay Publishing has collaborated with celebrated Australian artist, Bern Emmerichs, and Melbourne writer, Rose Giannone, on a new children's picture book called What's Your Story?. What's Your Story? is an incredibly beautiful children's book set against the backdrop of the First Settlement of Australia.

It describes the friendship of a little orphan boy from England, Leonard, and the friendship he strikes with a little Aboriginal girl called Milba. Leonard and Milba are mesmerised by the peculiarity of each others' worlds. It is an intimate first love story played against a huge backdrop of drama and discovery.

Bern Emmerichs' stunning illustrations have been created by using large hand-painted ceramic tiles, which remarkably involved each colour on each tile being individually fired, which have then been photographed and overladen with the author's text.
