Picture Books
There is a path I walk with care.
There is a shadow that follows me there.
There is a place, a secret I keep,
where something special is buried down deep …
A sumptuously illustrated and immersive picture book that speaks to memory, shared moments, and love beyond and between worlds.

A fine artist and illustrator from Adelaide, Ross Morgan completed a Bachelor of Visual Arts at the University of South Australia in 2000. Since then he has been exhibiting in numerous solo and group exhibitions, art prizes and running an independent studio practice. From an early age growing up in the mid–north of South Australia, Ross enjoyed exploring the rural environment filled with creatures, abandoned structures, machinery and objects of yesteryear. He also practised drawing, painting, and arts and crafts projects encouraged by his mother. These experiences have been key in establishing his life-long interest in drawing and painting. In 2018 he won the Raising Literacy Australia’s Emerging Author and Illustrator Mentoring Project. Through this initiative he completed his first illustrated book Molly Moores has a House Like Yours written by Kaliah Tsakalidis and published by Little Book Press in 2020.Currently Ross is working on a number of new picture book projects as both illustrator and author
Reviews
Glow is a curious mix of reality and imagination. There are some scenes I found reminiscent of the final moments of the movie ET The Extraterrestrial. A beautifully illustrated and unusual story.
