Books for young children
Nicola wrote and illustrated this entertaining children’s book which was first published in 1996. It’s a hide-and-seek story about two young sisters and their madcap pet Batty Cat
“When they have finished eating and Molly and Polly’s tummies are so full they are like little balloons, they scramble down from their chairs and run off to Batty Cat. He is sitting out on the window sill in the sunshine, washing his face and his whiskers.”
MY MAGIC PLACE was a joint co-operation between Nicola Lindsay as author and the South African artist Miranda Roberts as illustrator. The original witty pictures to accompany Nicola’s unique sense of humour were meticulously painted in large format on silk, a specialist technique for which Miranda Roberts is recognised internationally.
The play on words used throughout can be enjoyed at different levels by both adults and children. ( See example below)
