In development
Maryann has a new children’s book series in development seeking a publisher:
Aunty Mary Comes To Visit
- Picture book for young children, aged approximately 4-8 years old.
- Central character of Aunty Mary visits her 18 nieces and nephews to take them on adventures.
- Showcasing LGBTQIA+ representation with an Aunty role model within the wider family unit (as opposed to most current titles centring around queer parents or gay animal characters)
- The series sets an example of young children embracing their queer relatives, and celebrates compassion, kindness, creativity, and acceptance.
- Currently set in Australia, with the protagonist (Aunty Mary) visiting from her home in London.
The series currently includes five sample books:
Aunty Mary Comes To Visit – Theatre
Aunty Mary Comes To Visit – Aussie Outback
Aunty Mary Comes To Visit – Games
Aunty Mary Comes To Visit – Gardening
Aunty Mary Comes To Visit – Holidays
If you are an agent or publisher interested in the series, please contact Maryann.
