Sher Rill Ng - Illustrator - Our Little Inventor

Far from Nell's home in the countryside, the Big City is growing more polluted every day -

Nell has a brilliant mind and an ingenious invention. She sets off on the long journey, only to find that the problem is far worse than she had imagined. But Nell is determined to succeed.

Our Little Inventor is my first picture book, written and illustrated by yours truly.

I hope you'll enjoy this story about Nell. She has definitely inspired me :)

In 2022, Our Little Inventor was adapted for the stage by the West Australian Opera. Composed by the wonderful Emma Jayakumar.
