Kindness for Koalas

Davidson, Zanna/ Elwick, Elissa

Mala the Koala goes on a gentle journey discovering the meaning of kindness.

When Mala the Koala stomps into the forest, feeling very crummy, a little mouse suggests Mala will soon feel better if she starts to be kind. But how? wonders Mala. Soon she’s sharing her lunch with some emu chicks, helping a baby bat and comforting her friend, Wombat – discovering, on her way, that kindness really is what makes the world go round.

This easy-to-read rhyming story, with gentle humour and gorgeous artwork, is a perfect introduction to kindness.
