Proudly brought to you by Kelsy Lochead and Pegasus Elliot MacKenzie Publishers Ltd UK.
Kiki and the Bug is a magical series that brings to life the wanderlust experience in countries all over the world. This series plants the seeds for the gorgeous young people in your life to get curious about our big beautiful planet and the endless exploring it has to offer.
This first book is about a young girl, Kiki, who finds her very own travel bug that travels with her from her home in Aotearoa, New Zealand and heads to the first country that magically lights up on Bug's globe wings, Australia.
Bug hosts Kiki in Australia, taking her from the beaches to the outback, meeting animals, tasting the food, experiencing the culture and games, learning important lessons along the way.
"Oh the sights I have seen and the places on show, the friends I have met and the things I now know. The memories made here we never shall part, as I wrap them up gently, inside my heart."

Born and raised in rural Dannevirke New Zealand, I grew up fortunate, traveling to Australia to see my relatives and experiencing travel at a young age (albeit just across the ditch).
After three decades on this planet, I have lived in New Zealand, Australia and the United Kingdom. I've travelled to around thirty plus countries and have so many more yet to explore.
I am a very proud 'Aunty Kiki' of six beautiful nieces and nephews and these books are for their curious natures about the stories and pictures their parents and I are forever retelling.
I love the opportunities and the lessons traveling provides. It brings great perspective to our lives that really does enrich the way you see the world.
I've likened travel to a great quote from Jumanji, because it really is 'a game for those who seek to find a way to leave their world behind'.
