Description

The Three-Legged Kangaroo from Uluru leaves behind everything he has ever known about friendship to test his bravery and discover that belonging to a family is about celebrating what makes us unique, not about fitting in. From the red rock to the blue waves, a kangaroo can do amazing things, as long as he believes in himself. Children will love this rollicking adventure story told through rhythmic words and enchanting illustrations, hearing their own experiences echoed in the pages. This plucky little kangaroo from Uluru is an Aussie hero who will help children celebrate what makes them special.
