'As the bushfire swallowed up the world they knew, a wombat shared her burrow with other animals.

'As the flames of a bushfire approach, one small wombat shelters with other animals in her burrow. But that is just the beginning of their journey to safety.

'Based on events witnessed by Australian Children's Laureate Jackie French during the 2020 fires, and co-created with award-winning illustrator Danny Snell, this is a story of courage, compassion and survival, which saw people across Australia come together to save our wildlife from devastation.' (Publication summary)

'A delightful story with simple rhythm which centres on a family spending the day together out and about. Strolling to the park they say hello to a neighbour, marvel at the orange bus, wave to a rubbish truck and point to the ducks waddling by. Look outside. See the Sun. Let’s go now, have some fun. Puppy dog, butterfly. Aeroplane, cloudy sky. A story that focuses on everyday experiences and surroundings providing lots of opportunity for talk between parent and child.'

'Finally, the day has arrived! Four beautiful eggs hatch and four delightfully fluffy chickens emerge. One little chicken quickly realises she’s different, but not sure why. In a quest to find answers and hopefully a friend, she sets off to explore the farm.'
