Reviews:

"Leo and the Paperbark is a book filled with information, beautiful illustrations, and an engaging story. I must admit that I've learned one thing or two while reading it with my kids. I love how Leanne has put into writing the adventure of Leo and Poppy John, learning about native Australian plants and animals. It's a must-read in everyone's home, as I'm sure this colourful, heart-warming story will keep little (and big) ones engaged for ages." - Flavia

"We love this book! I read it with my 6-year-old daughter, and she instantly wanted to experience the ideas in the book... finding some trees, making art on paperbark, and brewing tea from the leaves. It is informative and engaging." - Renee Worthington
