• Pre- orders only can be ordered by emailing longlegs.creations@gmail.com. or phoning Robyn on 0211161231.
• Delivery early/mid December - these books would be great stocking fillers, secret Santa’s etc.

•WE ARE DONATING ALL PROFITS OF OUR CHILDREN'S BOOK SERIES TO "HOPE FOR HOLLIE"
Hollie Beattie is a beautiful 7 year old Torbay girl who has been diagnosed with a rare form of cancer called Neuroblastoma. Despite receiving treatment for the last 2 years, the doctors have advised that they have exhausted treatment options in NZ and the last remaining option for a cure is a trial treatment that will need to be undertaken in Spain.
The costs associated of this are estimated to be at least of $400,000.
