"Only in the Kimberley" By Emily Bridgeman, Chantal Leonhardt (Illustrator)
Only in the Kimberley, written by Emily Bridgeman and illustrated by Chantal Leonhardt, invites readers on a magical journey deep into the heart of the Australian bush. Set in the stunning Kimberley region of Western Australia, this poetic and whimsical story captures the wonder of the natural world, with a special focus on the iconic boab trees and the wildlife they nurture.
Children will meet 10 native animals, each helping to teach counting from 1 to 10, while discovering how seasonal changes influence their behaviours and habitats. A special two-page centre spread offers fascinating, age-appropriate facts about the flora and fauna featured throughout the story - perfect for sparking curiosity and deepening understanding.
Designed to be loved by children and parents alike, and essential for educators, Only in the Kimberley inspires children to explore, appreciate and care for the natural world around them.
