Meet the Author

Little Paddock Press was created by Ashley Marcolin, a mother, home-maker, gardener, and storyteller living on a small farm near Armidale, NSW.

Her books are inspired by the everyday magic of childhood – bees in the garden, muddy hands, flowers in bloom, animals to care for, and the quiet wonder of the natural world.

Through stories and nature-filled illustrations, Ashley hopes to encourage children to notice the little things, explore outside, and grow up with curiosity, kindness, and imagination.
