The Koala Who Could

“In a wonderful place, at the breaking of dawn, where the breezes were soft and the sunshine was warm, a place where the creatures ran wild and played free … A Koala called Kevin clung to a tree.”

So much to dazzle the ear and the eye”
★★★★ The Stage

Join Kevin, King of the staying-still-kings, and his friends Kangaroo and Wombat as they learn that “life can be great when you try something new!”

An empowering and chuckle-out-loud story about embracing change — whether we like it or not.

Fabulous rhymes. I’m in love with Kevin.”
Claudia Winkleman
