The Naked Sheep

Latest styles, hippest trends,

layered bangs and trimmed split ends…

This salon offers it all!

But, with the outrageous ‘Lightning’ Lizzy holding the clippers, her woolly customers often get more than they baaaargain for!

Children’s Book Editor and Literacy Educator, Crystal Corocher, brings this ‘HAIR-larious’ story about an overzealous Jilleroo who is easily distracted and creates more than a few odd dos for her woolly clientele. Created with the developing reader in mind, this story is light-hearted and engaging with a rhyme scheme that presents opportunities for word prediction and stanzas that young readers will want to memorise and read aloud! Paired perfectly with illustrations by Rebel Challenger who has fast built a reputation for her quirky, rich style and seemingly endless visual talents.

About the Author

Crystal Corocher is an author and editor of stories for children and young adults. She is also a library and literacy coordinator. Basically, she is thrilled to work in any way that sees more kids reading more books!

While she calls Melbourne home for now, Crystal grew up on a farm in Northern NSW. The formidable ‘Lightning’ Lizzy is a small homage to the many innovative, resilient, and down-right legendary women she has known in the agricultural industry - none more so than her own mum.

About the Illustrator

Rebel Challenger is an artist and wildlife carer who lives on a leafy acreage property surrounded by chickens and ducks. As a working art director and graphic designer (and with a science degree from that time she dreamed of being a park ranger) Rebel uses none of these skills when drawing. Instead, most of her artwork is inspired by the animals she cares for, the ones who visit her backyard and animals throughout the world she would love to meet one day.
