Friends of Storylines Fundraiser

Good Neighbor Maizie

Enter the draw to win Good Neighbor Maizie, an original illustration by Gavin Bishop, award-winning Aotearoa New Zealand children’s book illustrator, author, and Storylines Patron.

This beautiful watercolour and ink piece (32 x 24 cm) was created in the 1990s as a sample for a proposed book for an American publisher – one that was never published, making this an unique collector’s item. 

Whether you’re a long-time admirer of Bishop’s work or simply love stunning illustrations, this artwork will make a wonderful addition to your home.

All proceeds from the draw will support Storylines, helping to foster a love of books and storytelling for young readers across Aotearoa NZ. 

Don’t miss this chance to own a piece of literary history while supporting the next generation of readers and writers!
