About Everlasting Charli: Illustrated (Past Life Library)
“Does true love actually exist?” Charli Page loves her life as a waitress amongst the misfits in the jiggery-jaggery, poetry-laced fish restaurant in the heart of Hallowishes. Even though the owner, Alp, is a foul-tempered, sun-wrinkled fisherman with a flair for firing people, Charli is devoted to him and loves her job. She is so happy that she never wants things to change and even goes out of her way to ensure everything stays the same. Until a mysterious, old pirate hell bent on saving the world’s oceans returns to town, bringing her superbly crafted submarine and wild ideas of how to save the world with her. Charli never imagines that this ocean of a woman will turn all of their lives upside down and change just about everything she holds dear in the name, or guise, of true love.

Learn More About The Author
Philosophy has been a passion of mine since a young age when the riddles of the universe first snuck into my soul and the everyday everydayness of life coming alive left me spellbound as if I could see things through a pair of kaleidoscopic spectacles.
My focus over the past twenty years of working in schools, external literacy programs and theatre has been to awaken the philosopher inside the minds of children to get them thinking about how they are thinking and wondering about why they are wondering by enchanting them with vivid stories, complex creatures, twinkling soundtracks and most importantly, questions.
I write books for parents and children. Fragments of thoughts were ripped from the pages of my own journals and became my first nine illustrated children’s books in two series: the Past Life Library and the Young Philosophers Series. In my spare time, I’m creating an imaginary theme park of the mind.
I weave questions about everything throughout all my books which prompt children to keep their own journals. And in so doing, they can come to read and write both their stories and their life, through a pair of kaleidoscopic spectacles.
