Join us for a MEGA celebration for the release of Lincoln Rawlins’ third book:
Lincoln was just 8 when his debut picture book, Sprout’s Idea, grew roots and started spreading kindness around the world. He was 10 when he added to his legacy of heartwarming stories by combining his love of superheroes with a tale that sees everyone’s favourite character embark on a journey to uncover a power of his own in Super Sprout.
Now, aged 12, he is launching his third title Sprout's Dream, to inspire the young and young-at-heart to never give up on their dreams.
As Sprout looks at the amazing things his forest friends can do, he wonders what it would be like to have a superpower of his own. But being super seems a lot harder than first thought. That is, until a good friend shares a secret that changes everything...
Expect the unexpected for this book launch! Jump into a celebration loaded full of fun, play and interactive games!

Lincoln has always had a philosophy of kindness towards himself and towards others. So when this deep-thinking eight-year-old was asked to create a story to present at the 2022 Secret Oasis Festival, it was no surprise that he chose this as his underlying theme.
Reading his story out to a crowd of over 100 people was an experience Lincoln will never forget, but it became much more than that single event.
The story of hope, teamwork, combatting negative with positive and kindness came to life through his main character, Sprout, and the seed for what became Sprout’s Idea began to grow.
With Super Sprout, Lincoln set the scene at the Secret Oasis Festival and his beloved character went on a new quest of self-discovery.
As Sprout grows and explores more of his world, he uncovers a special dream that just might come true... you will have to see what it is when you come to celebrate the launch of Sprout's Dream.
Lincoln is proof that anyone can harness the power of story to make a difference in the world.
