What to expect
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.
Kevin likes to keep things the same. Exactly the same. But when change comes along uninvited one day, Kevin discovers that life can be new and wonderful!
The Koala Who Could was the winner of the Evening Standard's Oscar's Prize and the Sainsbury's Book Prize.
