Peter Little Wing, a middle-grade fantasy series
(Book One)
Peter, a captive Southern Fiordland Tokoeka Kiwi, and his friends from the National Aquarium (Onion, a Little Blue Penguin with an inner ear imbalance; Tim, a Tuatara with Generalized Anxiety Disorder; and Rangi, a Kea Parrot with clipped wings) embark on a quest through the unfamiliar wilderness of New Zealand in search of three ingredients needed to create an elixir to cure Peter’s ailing grandfather. Together, they traverse the length of the South Island of NZ, all the way across the Cook Strait and back home to the North Island. They learn what they are all capable of in the wild of the wop wops, and what the world beyond the "Wall of Shadows" of Peter’s habitat is all about.
- Book One is to be published by Pandamonium Publishing in 2023!

You may recognize the name Gordon Bagshaw because he is also the illustrator of my picture book, Libby the Lobivia Jajoiana (co-written with Kevin Risk, my husband).
