Since then she has been awarded a May Gibbs Fellowship and received an ASA childrenβs picture book grant to work on her book Hasel and Rose. Nowadays she is a full-time artist, illustrator and printmaker.
Maya and Cat was Carolineβs first book with Walker, which went on to become a CBCA Notable and was shortlisted in the NSW Premier's Literary Awards.
