Mama and Hug

When Hug first climbs out of his mother's pouch it is spring, deep in the Australian Bush. The trees are in blossom and new green growth is everywhere. As Hug grows, the season changes to the sharp dry crackle of summer.

One day Danger comes to the Bush and mama must flee to protect her baby, Hug.

Aleesah Darlison's tender story of a koala and her joey is delicately illustrated by Heather Charlton.
