Kambah author Sarah Wallace is celebrating the publication of her first picture book, which draws on Irish mythology about how children got their freckles, a book perfectly timed for St Patrick's Day today.
Emma's Freckles, beautifully illustrated by Lesley McGee, is also about self-acceptance and giving children the confidence to be themselves. Emma's Grandma tells her a story from their Irish heritage, about how freckles are maps to the stars, and how her freckles are "more special than Emma could ever have imagined".
