Bandits

Fern lives in a colourless, lifeless city and has only ever seen trees as pictures in her books. Fern is told that the bandits who come in the middle of the night to steal from the city dwellers are bad guys, but when she follows them back to their home she discovers a land of colour, life, friendship and a future she believes in. BANDITS is the second picture book from Sydney-based artist Sha''an d''Anthes, whose career has seen her travel, show and sell her work all over the world. ''Sha''an''s vibrant illustrations transport the reader to a world full of colour and joy.'' - Marc Martin, author and illustrator ''D''Anthes'' beautifully painted and intelligently prosed book is all about the environment, diversity and hope.''
