Now, they\u2019re using their storytelling in a different format, crafting a story aimed at young readers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen someone suggested we write a book, I assumed they meant colouring one in. But here we are, published authors!\u201d said McManus. \u201cWe somehow jammed our wild imaginations into a single story, and if it makes kids giggle and helps support WA families and Telethon, then that\u2019s a win.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Illustrated by Bridget Acreman, What If?\u2026 We Wrote A Book blends original characters, surreal twists and a playful tone, elements that will feel familiar to longtime listeners of the show.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLook, we talk a lot of nonsense on the radio, so we thought, why not put that nonsense in a book?\u201d said Locke. \u201cIt\u2019s got a dog with an appetite problem, a footy-obsessed kid and a vampire bat, so it\u2019s basically Shaun\u2019s autobiography!\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-244058\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/novabookpair0108.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"431\"  \/><\/p>\n<p>Supporting a long-standing cause<\/p>\n<p>All profits from the book will be donated to Telethon, which enters its 58th year in 2025.
