Allie makes a Difference sees the collaboration between one of our finest children’s authors, Nikki James (of Houdini’s Adventure fame) and acclaimed wildlife artist, Richard Mackintosh.
Through the eyes of Allie the albatross, we encounter the various characters in this adventure story – beautifully portrayed by Nikki and lovingly brought to life in the exquisite illustrations – as he comes to terms with his threatened existence. In so doing, Allie challenges us all “to make a difference” as the book brings home the message of hope and passion.
As always, Nikki, in her quest to establish scientific authenticity, threw herself into the practical research behind the story. To this end, on the 6th of April 2006, Nikki boarded the SA Agulhas along with a team of researchers headed for Marion Island.
The rest……. is in the story.
