…there was a world sweeter than Marmalade.
Mum wrote this media release for her book launch in June 2006. The day was a blast. Around 100 people attended, the media too. Mum made the news that night.
CHILDREN’S BOOK LAUNCH
Caramel Marmalade: Made in Cairns.
The sweet smell of Cairns has been deliciously captured in a children’s chapter book written by Cairns author, mother of four, Megan Bayliss. The jam packed story jars against preserving the tartness of sour thinking and invites readers to sample a rare and safe sweetness found in the unlikely duo of Caramel and Marmalade.
With real Cairns flavour, the book conserves our freedom loving personality with the dunny humour typical of children in the north. The author has lived here for 30 years and her evocative mango and lime story is set in her own home street in Edge Hill.
Although written as a tall tell-tale and endearingly stirring children’s read, the book sensitively addresses important protective behaviour strategies aimed at protecting children from the harms hidden in our heavenly tropical paradise. The story gives children in the 8-12 year old age group an opportunity to growl against those seemingly sweet monsters that hide within our utopia but who may really want to change ripeness for life into a rancid, rotting mass of fly blown waste.
The book, Bitss of Caramel Marmalade on Toast, will be launched in Cairns on Tuesday the 27th of June. The launch will be a family focused, FREE, dog/cat themed party with story reading, games, competitions and prizes for the whole family. Excepting the author, all launch officiators will be VIP guests: children.
This is a launch for the children, by the children. All families are welcome as long as the adults are well behaved. Dog and cat dress is encouraged. A signed copy of Bitss of Caramel Marmalade on Toast will be awarded to the best dressed family arriving as dogs or cats.
This is definitely a book to include in the discerning child’s or adult’s Christmas stocking. For an insatiable northern appetite, put away a signed copy from the launch. RRP $15.00.
