Roly and Mum must find a new home where seagrass still grows abundant, but the journey promises to be perilous.
A peaceful bay once brimmed with dugongs, but now it's only Roly and his Mum. Pollution has killed all the food, and everyone else has moved away. Starving from the scarce seagrass, Mum tells Roly that soon, when he is old enough, they will set out in search of a haven for dugongs like them where seagrass still thrives. But the journey is perilous, she warns. To survive, he must stay close. Stunning seascape illustrations serve as a reminder of the hidden beauty that we could lose.

Jess is a visual artist who trained in Fine Art and has been practising her art for 20 years.

Our designs
She creates her designs on paper with pen and ink or graphite and then has them printed onto a range of gorgeous fabrics for the homewares range. The dramatic and beautiful landscape of the Island is evident as inspiration in her designs, which look fantastic in any home.
Her work is designed and manufactured in Australia – which is good for everyone…Custom orders are always welcome and she can colour match and have your favourite designs printed to order on your choice of fabric.
