Lily the Lotus

Lily dreams of a beautiful world beyond her life in a pond,

and awakens to find beauty and light shining from inside herself.

Lily's journey explores the themes of friendship and self-discovery,

having faith in oneself and being kind to others.




Lily the Lotus is Gerard Traub's first children's book composed to inspire the reader to explore the relationship between the beauty of the natural world and its deeper connection within us. He is also the author of a collection of poems entitled Reflections of Nature. Gerard resides with his wife and family on the Sunshine Coast, Queensland, Australia.
