A delightful story set in the small Queensland town of Flying Fish Point in the 1950s. When a young girl has nothing to wear to the school’s annual fancy dress carnival, she enlists the help of her family and has surprising results.
The Old Frangipani Tree at Flying Fish Point is an encouraging tale of overcoming the social expectations that sometimes hold us back from success. The illustrations are rich in warm colours that draw us into the narrative. A story of community spirit based on experiences of the author’s mother.
