Overview

Ages 3 to 6 years. Alice is a kangaroo keen to keep up with her mob. But theres one problem: shes hop-challenged, and gets left behind, covered in red dust when the others bound away across the Outback. Aside from that, she has a hungry joey in her pouch who needs looking after. Whats a mum kangaroo to do? Looking up to the sky for inspiration, she spots Gary the Galah, an expert on kangaroo tracking -- if he says so himself. Gary finds Alices mob in no time and comes up with an ingenious solution to Alices problem of keeping up: springs on her feet! Just when Alice is catching up, she and her joey are encircled by a fearsome bushfire. Alice saves the day, and her heroism is recognised by having a town named after her. Any guesses what that might be? This bounding tale in clever rhyme is certain to keep young readers enchanted from start to finish.

Author Information

Jeremy has been an advertising creative for the last 25 years and has run agencies all over the world, including NZ, Dubai, Vietnam and The Philippines. A few years ago, he got sick of the rat race and returned to Australia, where he now resides in the Blue Mountains with his wife and dog. In an effort to have something worthwhile to put in his epitaph, other than chips, washing powder and beer, he started writing children's stories. In his spare time Jeremy can be found on the biking trails of the Blue mountains or hard at work on his next book. But most likely the former. Amberly is an Australian-born artist originally from the Blue Mountains, west of Sydney, and currently based in the French Alps. She has been drawing and making art since she was a child, has a background in photography and graphic design, and has also worked in the printing and advertising industries for many years. Her illustration style ranges from hand-drawn black and white, highly detailed sketches, to brightly coloured digital art, and everything in between. Nature is usually a predominant influence and inspiration (likely due to growing up surrounded by bushland and animals).
