World Oceans Day
Today is World Oceans Day. Let’s celebrate all ocean wildlife like our own puffin, Park and remember species that are extinct like Aukid the Great Auk.
We must look after our oceans and protect all species within them!
New Bookmarks
Two new bookmarks have ‘flown’ into my ETSY shop and will soon be available on the website. One depicts a picture (double-sided) of Aukid and Park waiting for the container ship that will take them to Canada and the Black bear that they encounter there. The second one depicts Aukid and Park together on one side and Aukid on his own on the other.
Free postage still on any purchase. Come and take a look!
International Children’s Book Day
It’s International Children’s Book Day today. How better to celebrate than with an international Great Auk (extinct of course – but who’s counting…).
in Book 2 Aukid and his new found friend, Park, the puffin, travel to Canada on a container ship so that’s pretty much international travelling for them.
Check it out! Why not visit my Etsy shop? Prices from 50p and postage free to all domestic and international addresses…at the moment!

World Book Day
Don’t forget World Book Day is 4th March. There’s still time to order one of my books ready for the ‘big day’!

Lots of items in my Etsy shop for half-term reading and creating. With prices from 50p and free delivery there’s bound to be something for everyone. Come and take a look. Find it under Theaukwardcompany
World Book Day
It’s World Book Day. Aukid the Great Auk and his new friend Park the puffin are waiting to meet the 7-11 year olds. Why not join them on their adventures in my Etsy shop. Even better is the chance for children to have a go at writing their own short story. Base it on mine or think of something completely new. They can be illustrated too!
What will your children be doing today to celebrate World Book Day? Please let me know!
Lockdown Learning
Aukid, as well as selling his tales from here, has taken the plunge and decided to start up an Etsy shop so that he can reach more people in his search for more Great Auks. Park, his puffin friend, reluctantly agreed that this was a good idea – although it’s normally him who suggests having the new adventures!
The shop contains all the books, cards, bookmarks, stickers etc and has 20% off all items for UK buyers at the present. It’s a perfect, fun way to enhance lockdown learning and includes many affordable pocket money items.
Why there are no more Great Auks… Except one!
Interesting article to read. Very sad! One reason why Aukid is here educating children about the Great Auk and helping to stop this happening again!
