Through all the seasons of the heart, this beautifully illustrated book candidly relates the exquisite bubble of new love, followed by the perils of the insidious zone of complacency where the shower of passion dries up and silence ensues--and above all, hope.
The book introduces readers to the emotional world of a young girl who seeks love with a three-eared bunny and pursues a course to win him.

Nevertheless, the young heroine overcomes her disillusions and finds new possibilities and strength in the lessons she's learned.

Changes and separations in a young child’s life are less worrisome with the help of playful rituals in this sweet, reassuring picture book. Everything is an adventure when Orlando and his mommy spend the day together: drawing a picture, taking a walk, even having a snack. Then comes Thursday —the day Mami has to be busy in town.

Emma Magenta’s gently quirky narrative and fresh, charmingly naïve illustrations evoke a true toddler sensibility, while weaving a cocoon of love and security around young Orlando in a story as comforting as a mug of warm, frothy milk.
This funny, beautifully illustrated book with its original take on male-female relationships will reach many new Emma Magenta enthusiasts via the ABC TV series, screening twice weekly on ABC1 from 15 February to 5 April 2011.

On one level it is a whimsical story about Naughty Yawn, a boy who won't share, and on another it is a gentle, non-didactic exploration of the environmental issues that face us. A delightful and entertaining story that shows the skill and imagination we have come to expect from this extraordinarily talented woman, Toni Collette, illustrated by the unique Emma Magenta, in their first ever book for children.
Magenta is consumed by enormous sadness after losing all she loves to the hands of fate. Unable to locate her joyous self again, she pursues a mission to find it. After much spiritual shopping for a solution, she is confronted by the answer that she has been avoiding all along. Perhaps the plastic surgery was a little impulsive?
