Confetti and the Rainbow Garden

Confetti and the Rainbow Garden is a story about curiosity and creativity, family and identity, and the wonders of the natural world.

With illustrations by award-winning artist Dylan Finney and words by Australia's favourite drag queen Courtney Act, Confetti and the Rainbow Garden is the perfect book to inspire acceptance and independence in kids aged 3+.

Welcome to Nan's garden, a wonderland where kangaroo paws play soccer, water lilies dive, and lilly pillies do science experiments. Confetti is on a mission to find out who they'll grow up to be – a wistful waratah, lorikeet-laden grevillea, or perhaps a frolicking fern?

Join Confetti on an adventure celebrating family and flora, and how life is beautiful when we're free to be ourselves.
