Series Synopsis

Barry’s Music Adventures is a heartwarming Australian children’s picture book series about courage, friendship, belonging, and the power of music to connect us all.

Follow Barry, a golden Labrador with a guitar and a brave heart, as he journeys across Australia — from the sparkling shores of Bondi Beach, to the thick forests of Kyabram, the bright laneways of Melbourne (Narrm), the coastal beauty of Phillip Island (Millowl), and the wild rivers of Cairns (Gimuy).

Along the way, Barry faces storms, gets lost, meets new animal friends, dances with danger, and discovers that even the scariest moments can lead to growth. From laughing kookaburras and jazzy city cats to generous pelicans and wise old crocodiles, each story celebrates Australia’s diverse landscapes, wildlife, and cultures.

Through every adventure, one truth remains:
Music brings hearts together.

Perfect for children aged 0–8, families who love animal stories and Australian settings, and classrooms exploring nature, belonging, and emotional resilience.

Each book includes bonus drawing and colouring pages to inspire creativity and imagination.
