Picture Books Magabala Books Magabala Books Rights Contact: Margaret Whiskin publishing@magabala.com ph. +61 8 9192 1991 www.magabala.com ONCE THERE WAS A BOY By Dub Leffler Magabala Books Once there was a boy is a universal story of friendship, temptation and reconciliation. This whimsical picture book is the touching story of a little boy with a broken heart who meets a young girl who shares his secret. The timeless and elegant tale is transformed into a beautiful grown-up story by the use of sophisticated analogies, such as the heart as love or friendship and the sapotes as forbidden fruit. Rights Available: World (ex ANZ). STOLEN GIRL By Trina Saffioti, Illustrated by Norma MacDonald Magabala Books Stolen Girl is a fictionalised account of the now universally known story of the Stolen Generation and tells of an Aboriginal girl taken from her family by the government and sent to a children’s home. Each night she sings, and dreams of her mother and the life they once shared — of sitting on the veranda of their corrugated-iron home, cooking damper and hunting goanna. Until finally one day she puts into action her carefully crafted plan — unlocking the door and taking her first step back toward home. Rights Available: World (ex ANZ). Graphic Novel UBBY’S UNDERDOGS: THE LEGEND OF THE PHOENIX DRAGON By Brenton E McKenna Magabala Books The small pearling settlement of Broome thrives with eccentric small town characters, mythical creatures and fantastic beasts in the first book of the epic Ubby’s Underdogs trilogy. Set in the 1940s when Broome is still recovering from World War II, this graphic novel follows the adventures of Ubby, a smart, street-wise Aboriginal girl and the leader of a small rag-tag gang known as the ‘Underdogs.’ This is a heroic tale that measures the limits of courage and friendship. Amidst a backdrop of fictionalised Aboriginal and Chinese mythology in the unique multicultural town of Broome, Brenton’s first graphic novel leaves you gasping for air and in anticipation of things to come. Rights Available: World rights (ex ANZ). 12
