When the weather was making indoor entertainment for the kids a must, one Red Beach mother and her daughter put their creative talent to work, inspired by a neighbourhood cat.
Together, Creative Director Miranda Likeman and six-year-old Nina wrote a story about Charlie – a cat that is well known in Red Beach for getting out and about.
Nina wanted to be able to colour the pictures in, so Miranda used a free app called ColorScape to turn photos of Charlie into line drawings.
At the end of the book is a list of places where you might see Charlie and spaces to record any sightings.
“He’s a very adventurous cat, and quite a character,” Miranda says. “He goes all over the place, including to the surf club or to say ‘hi’ to people eating takeaways at the beach.”
Miranda made the book available to download free.
“It’s a bit of a boredom buster and was fun for Nina and I to do together,” Miranda says.
