22.01.2022 A daddy goose is called a gander. A baby goose is called a gosling. But these are not just any geese, these are Cape Barren Geese! These gorgeous geese live in few southern enclaves of Australia and are named after Tasmania’s Cape Barren Island. ... Our local animal sanctuary @bonorong has some Cape Barren goslings in residence right now so it’s a perfect time to go visit them and support their work protecting our wildlife! #thedaddyanimalbook #babyanimals #kidslit #kidsbookswelove #nonfictionforkids #kidsbookstagram #kidsbooks #redparka #jennifercossins #lovealothian #capebarrengoose See more
18.01.2022 101 Collective Nouns - not just for kids! In fact, when I wrote this, my first book, I didn’t really even consider myself a children’s author/ illustrator.... I just liked drawing animals and interesting words so I created a book that I loved. Lucky for me, you guys seemed to love it too and the success of this book really launched my career! So thanks everyone who’s has been around since the first book and also to all my new readers too - I hope I can keep creating... things you’ll love as much as @greta697 seems to be enjoying this! #redparka #redparkashop #jennifercossins #tasmanianartist #tasdesigned #thesmallbusinesscommunity #101collectivenouns #collectivenouns #illustration #illustratenow #childrensillustration #illustratorsoninstagram #tasmanianartist #animalart @ Hobart, Tasmania See more

14.01.2022 Gorillas in the rainforest! We’ve been taking a few days out to travel in Tasmania now that we are able to explore locally again. It’s been amazing to see some local spots we’ve never visited and be out there supporting the local community by staying in small accommodation places and buying lots of yummy food and coffee on our way. Swipe to see a few pics of the stunning area around St Columba Falls in NE Tassie! And don’t forget to explore local if you’re... lucky enough to be able to do so safely! #thedaddyanimalbook #kidsbookswelove #nonfictionforkids #kidsbookstagram #kidsbooks #redparka #jennifercossins #lovealothian #explorelocal #exploretasmania #supportsmallbusiness #buytasmanian #booksinthewild @ St Columba Falls, Pyengana, Tas See more

11.01.2022 H is for humpback whale! It’s breaking my heart at the moment witnessing (via the news) the biggest mass stranding of whales ever in Australia happening in Tasmania right now..... they are pilot whales and hundreds of them have died while rescuers work around the clock to save as many as they can. It’s an absolute tragedy. There’s nothing we can do to help these whales but there’s a lot we can all do to help protect whales in general so let’s use this as a... reminder to do whatever we can to protect our oceans. Some simple ideas we can all do easily: - donate to ocean conservation charities - eat less fish and do your research to make sure you only eat sustainable seafood - see @goodfishproject - reduce your plastic consumption - switch to eco-friendly detergents - use shampoo bars and soap instead of ones in plastic bottles. - collect your soft plastic to recycle at the supermarket instead of putting it in the bin where it may end up in the ocean. - remember to keep your reusable shopping bags and coffee cups handy (store some in the car so you always have them) It might be hard to save the planet but it’s easy for us all to make tiny changes as individuals that help... as best we can, let’s be part of the solution, not adding to the problem. I am sad for the whales, but let’s do something positive with our grief and keep fighting for a better world! Comment below with your best tips and favourite sustainable brands so we can all try to do better! The Ultimate Animal Alphabet Book - out Oct 27th!

07.01.2022 My new pin helps build libraries in Bali and you can get one for $15 (incl. postage) via our Pozible Campaign - https://www.pozible.com/profile/jennifer-cossins I designed these pins to sell to raise money for the Bali Children's Project, whom we're working with to renovate a library that really needs our help. 100% of the price of these goes to the project! The design is inspired by a little cat we met on our holiday to Bali, where I first discovered th...is amazing organisation, and became inspired to do something more to help. As a children's author, access to good books for kids is so important to me and learning that so many children don't have this is heartbreaking. Indonesia has very poor literacy rates and when schools don't have good libraries or access to books, this is only going to get worse. This project is to help change that! So if you love books (and cats!) tell the world by wearing one of these pins (of gift it to your book/cat loving friends this christmas) and help us build a library!

07.01.2022 Birdwatching Tassie-style! We recently spent a few nights at the gorgeous @tindragoncottages in North East Tasmania, immersing ourselves in nature. This is the most beautiful, eco-friendly place to stay - we saw and heard so many native birds as well as other wildlife (even a platypus in the river behind the cottages!) @tindragoncottages is in the heart of the northeast, a beautiful place to be based while you explore all the beauty of this region!... If you’re looking for a Tassie escape, this could be it! The lovely owners are offering you all 15% off too by using the code REDPARKA15 - link to book in their bio! We’re all doing our best to support local these days so if you’re able to, book a getaway and show Tassie some love! Swipe for more photos of @tindragoncottages and surrounds to inspire you! #redparka #jennifercossins #tasdesigned #thesmallbusinesscommunity #northeasttasmania #explorelocal #birdwatchingaustralia #tasmanianillustrator #sustainableaccommodation See more
07.01.2022 A daddy turkey is called a gobbler. A baby turkey is called a poult. This is another image from my Daddy Animal Book. ... I actually think turkeys are incredibly beautiful animals and this drawing is one of my favourites! Did you know a male turkey is called a gobbler? #thedaddyanimalbook #babyanimals #kidslit #kidsbookswelove #nonfictionforkids #kidsbookstagram #kidsbooks #redparka #jennifercossins #lovealothian #turkeysofinstagram #gobbler See more
06.01.2022 A daddy cougar is called a lion. A baby cougar is called a kitten (can also be called a cub). Did you know that cougar kittens are born with lots of spots but they fade as they grow up until they are one coloured? ... True story: once when I was hiking in the US I saw cougar tracks on the path. I was alone and scared and spent the rest of the hike carrying a big stick and talking loudly to myself so as to alert any hidden cougars to my presence... I did not fancy taking one by surprise despite how beautiful they are!! Have you ever seen a cougar? Was it terrifying??

01.01.2022 A daddy penguin is called a cock. A baby penguin is called a chick. Penguins are just about the best dads of the animal kingdom, not eating for several months when they are busy keeping their egg, then chick, safe and warm away from the ice until mum gets back from the ocean! ... This dad and bub made the cover for his devotion... this little book would make a great gift for the devoted dad in your life too!
