Minibeasts donate $200
Last week Christine Grayden donated $200 to the Phillip Island Penguin Foundation from sales of her non-fiction book.
Local writer Christine Grayden has been selling her two children's books through Turn the Page bookshop in Cowes over the last 18 months.
Part of the profits from each book go to charity, and last week Christine donated $200 to the Phillip Island Penguin Foundation from sales of her non-fiction book "Minibeasts of Phillip Island Millowl.
Land insects, spiders, molluscs and crustaceans". Christine handed over the cheque to Penguin Foundation board member, Jane Jobe, in Brendan and Kylie's book shop last week.
In thanking Christine, Jane said she was delighted that so many people had purchased Christine's book. The book was produced with the help of local photographers contributing over 100 photos of our island's minibeasts, and printed locally at Gone Printin' on 100 per cent recycled paper. An all-round win for the environment.
Christine's other children's book, "The Lost Blanket", which she also illustrated, has so far raised $1000 in sales and donations for UNICEF, and is still also available at Turn the Page.
Christine would like to thank Brendan and Kylie for selling her books, making her fundraising possible, and for also supporting other local writers.
