Stick Your Neck Out is the funny, touching, uplifting tale of two giraffes and a black hole that sucks. Geoffrey has lost his mood for giving. His life has become a gi-normous black hole. He is untouchable and unreachable...until small, sweet Penelope sticks her neck out. On her silver scooter, dressed to the max in glitter gumboots and very own tiara, Penelope rocks up to Geoffrey’s front gate to share her light and bedazzle the whole black hole saga. Stick Your Neck Out is heartwarming hope for anyone affected by life’s black holes. Author Biography: Leigh Hay is a freelance writer and editor. Co-author of the best selling Mind Your Mind-Rational thinking strategies for children, Leigh is also a former ASG May Gibbs Nutcote Fellowship Writer-in-Residence. An award winning poet, Leigh’s work has been published in a number of Australian anthologies. Stick Your Neck Out started life as spontaneous words on paper until illustrator Andrew McKenzie introduced two giraffes. After that, the story glowed. Leigh hopes that Stick Your Neck Out will inspire many glitter gumboot days for countless people. Illustrator Biography: Andrew McKenzie. First time illustrator, long-time drawer. For as long as he can remember Andrew has been scribbling away even when he was supposed to be paying attention in class or was bored in a business meeting. “Doodling is great. Thank God for paper and pens!” Andrew dedicates this book to his three children Benjamin, Aaron and Amber:You do great things, You can do great things, You will do great things.
