Herbert

About the Book

Young Herbert Dingyham lives a charmed life. In his world, good things happen every day! He is safe, protected, and, most of all, loved by his parents and four older brothers. Best of all, the Dingyham family lives in Mornington, where there’s no such thing as violence, litter, or hate. It is a fairy-tale town, where Herbert is free to live his fairy-tale life.

But Herbert’s happiness soon comes to an end when his four older brothers decide to leave home and see the world. He doesn’t understand why they have to leave … especially so soon! Suddenly, Herbert is lonely, and all he can do is cry to ease the pain—that is until he decides he’s going to move out, too, and join his brothers in the big city. But for little Herbert, the big city is a big, scary place.

Follow Herbert as he goes on a dangerous adventure. Along the way, he braves the streets and finds his way through an unfamiliar—and unfriendly—world. He must search for food, shelter, and companionship, while ducking the clutches of the big bully, Big Gibson! It is a tale of bravery, as little Herbert learns how to stand up for himself and, with strength and smarts, find his way home.

About the Author

Braxton Tyler lives in the inner Western suburbs of Sydney, Australia with his family and sister. Being the eldest in the family and also the only son, there were immense pressure to do well in life such as achieve great scores in school and at work, and perhaps its because of this that Braxton seriously lacked in life. But what ever his short comings so far in life, he finally achieved his life time goal of becoming a published author. His publishing debut is that of a childrens' book titled Selena, but proud as he may be over this glorious triumph, he isn't done with his dream. His second book Herbert is due to be out before Christmas this year and if all goes well another 3 more childrens' books would follow suite later this year, bringing in a tally of 5 books written and published in less than 2years.
