Rebecka Sharpe Shelberg is a librarian, children’s author
and general book enthusiast, who lives in Sydney, Australia, with
her bearded husband, two small mischievous children, two fluffy
dogs and a bearded dragon. Though she is obsessed with books of all
kinds, she is particularly enamoured with picture books and would
happily spend an entire day (and a year’s salary) in a good
bookstore. Her first picture book, Reflection, was a CBCA Notable
book for 2017.
Robin Cowcher is a freelance illustrator and currently lives
in Melbourne, Australia. She studied at RMIT and worked for many
years at The Age as an art director, illustrator and designer. Her
picture books with Walker include Little Dog and the Christmas Wish
and Little Dog and the Summer Holiday, both written by Corinne
Fenton.
The story-telling is mesmerising, and the illustrations constantly
reveal new details hidden in the images.

The gentle thoughtfulness of this book brought tears to my eyes. A
very special book to be treasured by those with family who have
served in our military or peacekeeping forces, or those who
appreciate and respect the sacrifice of our servicemen and
women.
*Kids' Book Review*
Rebecka Sharpe Shelberg has chosen her words carefully for young
readers. Robin Cowcher, the illustrator has done a superb job with
the illustrations – pen drawings with a watercolour wash. They are
simple but compliment the story beautifully.

This book adds to the range of books available to remind students
about war and its cost, of the many wars Australia has been
involved in and the way we remember. And the beautiful water colour
wash illustrations reflect this theme to perfection.

beautiful and haunting... Reflection is an appropriate book title,
as we reflect on Australia's role in war and peacekeeping efforts
this Anzac Day.
