Lauren Koala By Glenn Lawrence & Annie Barber

The Koala Who Could By Rachel Bright & Jim Field

The Koala Who CouldKevin the koala lives in a tree surrounded by a beautiful landscape and scores of fun-loving animals. However instead of exploring with his friends he stays up in his tree because he is scared of change. Up there he is safe and nothing bad can happen to him. Why would he risk doing something which might scare him?

Then one day a woodpecker arrives and changes Kevin’s world forever. What will happen when he is forced out of his comfort zone?

I love this book because we’ve all been Kevin – and I think it’s so important for kids to see that stretching yourself and facing your fears can truly enrich your life and bring you closer to your dreams.
