A remarkable story of survival
The creators of A Mother’s Journey and Little Lost Bat, Sandra Markle and Alan Marks team up again to chronicle the challenges faced by a mother koala: protecting herself and her joey from a raging bushfire, and finding food and a new home after their home range is destroyed. Based on a true story.
Back matter includes facts about koalas, an author’s note about Cinders, the real-life koala that survived two bushfires, and resources for learning more about koalas and their habitat.
