Great Barrier Reef Rescue Book Launch
With a humungous splash, I invite you to the launch of Song Bird: Great Barrier Reef Rescue on 5th May 2019. Superheroes and marine characters will dive-bomb into this aquatic event.
What is Great Barrier Reef Rescue about?
Karen Tyrrell author (me) created this eco adventure after following David Attenborough for years.
‘The Great Barrier Reef is in grave danger. It’s time to step up.’
—David Attenborough
I wrote Great Barrier Reef Rescue to educate and empower children to care for the reef and endangered marine creatures.

Your heart, soul and love are in this book. Fantastic achievement and I hope it gains the success it deserves. Preserving the reef and protecting our ecology is critically important, your book carries this message proudly and clearly. A beautiful blend of fantasy adventure and environmental imperatives.

Hi Karen,
This is another great book in the Song Bird series. I loved it. 🙂
I am very disappointed that I won’t be able to join you at the launch on 5 May as it’s a special weekend for my family. Perhaps I’ll catch up with you on another occasion.
Best wishes,
Norah
Hi Norah,
I’m disappointed you won’t be able to make my book launch on the 5th May. But I totally understand, Family comes first.
I hope I can catch up with you at another time, perhaps at one of my May events.
Thanks for your awesome Review on Goodreads.
Take care,
Karen x
