Roadman Boogie – Nikki Slade Robinson

Roadman Boogie - Nikki Slade Robinson

Description

'I'm cold and bored and soggy,' sneezed the Roadman with a sigh.
'All I do is Stop-Go-Stop at traffic sloshing by.'
But when a loaded car pulled up, with music playing loud,
the Roadman couldn't help himself and danced for all the crowd!

Nikki Slade Robinson has been an illustrator and author for many years and has illustrated for a wide range of businesses including multinationals such as Telecom New Zealand, BP and New Zealand Post.

Testimonials

“New Zealand book lovers will know how much we depend on the judgment, expertise and professional commitment of a publisher like David Ling. I am extremely grateful to him, not only for taking the gamble with an unknown, but for his advice, enthusiastic care and attention in doing such a fine job.”

John Steele, author of No Ordinary Man
“David Ling is a publisher of rare integrity, range and innovation and his Duck Creek imprint, launched in 2010, has contributed significantly to the general upswing in New Zealand picture book publishing. Production values are notably high, while his authors and illustrators represent a judicious mix of established names and exciting newcomers. I'm looking forward to more delightful picture books from this experienced and committed publisher.”
