Firstly, a new children’s book: Tippy and Jellybean by Sophie Cunningham.
Based on the true story of Tippy the koala, and her baby, Jellybean, which was one of the tales that broke hearts all around Australia during our devastating bushfires last summer.

Tippy was found by rescuers in the Snowy River National Park just after the fires raged through the area with a burnt back and paws. She was crouched over her joey, Jellybean, who was unscathed.
Sadly, many of our koalas were lost when they made the mistake of scrambling for the top tree branches when fires went through, offering them absolutely no protection whatsoever.
Tippy and Jellybean have since recovered and have been released back to an area with eucalyptus trees.
Proceeds from this book will raise money for the Bushfire Emergency Wildlife Fund.

And another Iso-Project successfully completed.

Two happy endings 🙂

I certainly think that books featuring animals is a subject all Little People can relate too. I also hope – as I live in area currently being decimated by development – that this book and others like it remind us all just how beautiful nature really is.

The book looks like a keeper! And the puzzle looks like it was a fun one to do and challenging with all that brown background!!

Yes, the browns all ran together unless sitting under the right light, but it was good occupation.

Before Corona I used to enjoy authors visiting our local library and always purchased a couple of signed copies as gifts for Little People.
Hope that you’re staying safe….

Courage is being scared to death and saddling up anyway. Kind of how we all feel at times.

Yes. The quote resonates, another reason I selected the Duke jigsaw. It’s now hanging in the She-Shack which now needs a mezzanine level:)
