How Mother Kangaroo Got Her Pouch follows Mother Bunda and her spirited little joey, Baabay, as they adventure across the vast Australian landscape where they meet Wambad, the wise old wombat. When Mother Kangaroo's bravery and quick thinking save Baabay and Wambad from hunters, Wambad repays their kindness with an unexpected gift that will change their lives forever.
A combination of ancient First Nations storytelling and exciting adventure tale, How Mother Kangaroo Got Her Pouch is the second in a series of five picture books featuring stories from Australia, inspired by the National Museum of Australia's immersive play space for children - the Tim and Gina Fairfax Discovery Centre.
