"Eric the Emu" is an Australian picture book. It teaches children about water safety and is a rhyming book with a fun theme. I am passionate about children's education, resilience, well being and happiness. My books are aimed at being entertaining as well as educational. This book is totally Australian as it is published and printed here. There are emu facts in the back of this book and life messages for children on the back cover. The message on this one is "Don't give up on your dreams and never go into the water alone". This book is perfect for children 3 months to 7 years, and also as a reader or class set in primary schools and libraries. My illustrations are painted in acrylic and ink. Enjoy this delightful story and please contact me for more information. - Ros Wiegand
