Lola Lorikeet is sad. Why do her forest friends have bright, colourful feathers while hers are dull and grey? Soon she discovers the secret, and little by little, her rainbow colours emerge.

Sam is a wildlife illustrator living on the beautiful Mid North Coast of New South Wales. Growing up amidst a family of bushwalkers, bird photographers and artists, it’s no surprise that her love of art and the Australian bush began at an early age. Since graduating from the University of Newcastle with a degree in Natural History Illustration, Sam has continued to develop her skills as a wildlife illustrator. She has collaborated on projects with museums, art galleries and businesses in both Australia and Canada.
