Hello, my name is Lynelle Westlake. I write and illustrate Early Childhood Picture Books designed to enhance early literacy.

Since retiring from full time teaching at Preschool, I have been creating stories, drawings, paintings & sculptures in my studio here in the "bush" at Goondiwidi in Queensland, Australia.

My first book "Molog the Frog" is written to engage young children in reading while introducing them to science concepts and engaging them in the conservation of endangered species.
