Patrick & George #2 about bullying - PRE ORDER NOW. Patrick and George love their morning walks together, but their path takes an unexpected turn when Patrick begins to get bullied. This story explores how the bullying affects Patrick, and how his friend George feels as he sees Patrick change.
This book aims to show children how staying true to yourself is what is most important and that being picked on is never about you. This is a tale of friendship, bravery and a change of heart.

Written by Jessica Urlichs, Illustrated by Craig Phillips, with parent/teacher notes written by Rebekah Lipp. Published by Wildling Books.

Select poems are now framed ready for order! Including some of Drew's line art. My poems are still available for print on Etsy, but I thought I would finally have a one stop shop option for a few of my most popular.

This is officially released end of September, but you can have a listen and buy now on Bandcamp where you'll receive the printable lyrics for free on release day. We've had such beautiful feedback on our first single 'May You Always Know' and how it's become your "calming song", we hope you love this one just as much!

If you're over crying on my socials, then there's always crying on my Substack? Just joking, I'll be sharing new poems here first from any books, plus lengthier pieces of writing when I am called to. You can join for free or sign up for all posts through the membership. I was using Buy Me A Coffee (and I have sent out an email to all my lovely members there and paused your memberships) but I find Substack to feel more homely for a writer, more interactive too!

Hi everyone! I am now sending signed copies of my books around the world (before it was just within NZ & Aus) but the demand was there so I thought, why not! I can personalize these too x buying 3 books will get you 10% off!

So I went and did a thing and started writing lullabies! They are all inspired by my poems and I know you'll enjoy listening and singing along too. I can't wait to share more with you. Alex Holmes is the beautiful voice you hear on these but stay tuned to hear me feature on some in the future!

Pre-order now for release date approximately Sept 2024! Limited stock in first shipment, so don't miss out!

A heartwarming tale of friendship and empathy.

Feeling troubled, George takes Patrick on a journey through rocky mountains, deep ravines and a rushing river. Patrick tries his best to help George across these obstacles. Together, they discover problem solving isn’t as important as walking beside someone on their journey. This story will introduce empathy through an engaging adventure between two best friends.

Have you pre ordered To My Love yet? It's out in time for Father's Day AND there is an AMAZING competition for all of those who do!

Collaborating with Francesca Jewellery is such a dream, not only are these keepsake pieces of jewellery a daily reminder of the incredible work you are doing, they are also to the wearer, an empowering message to embrace the beautiful and fleeting chaos of early motherhood.

I had to share this heartwarming feedback with you all... "Jess! I received Let Me Frank in the mail and I read it to my son at bedtime, but not without choking up and crying by the end. You have made "be who you needed when you were younger" a dream come true with your words. How I wish my younger self had this, but I'm grateful my children do"

We're doing frazzled in style AND I am taking control of all my merch orders now (they were being distributed overseas) but I get to oversee the quality, and deal directly with you. Shipping worldwide!

Beautiful Chaos is out Now! Beautiful Chaos became an instant Sunday Times bestseller thanks to all of you! Here's a little about the book:

Motherhood is messy and beautiful, and hard and humbling. We adore our children and sometimes we miss ourselves. Beautiful Chaos is a collection of raw, honest poems about motherhood - capturing everything from pregnancy to school age." Upon becoming a mother, Jessica Urlichs was reminded that the everyday ordinary is extraordinary. As sacred and tender as early motherhood is, it also comes with its struggles. Beautiful Chaos is a collection that chronicles it all - the highs, the lows, the confusion, the loss of identity, the becoming, and the brutal but beautiful ways our children hold mirrors up to us. This collection inspires vulnerability and will be a cathartic, healing read for anyone who needs it. These poems will remind you of a time gone by or ground you in the current moment. Either way, they will make you feel seen and comforted amidst the beautiful chaos that is motherhood."
