HELLO, I'M A QUOKKA

A clever, funny, and informational nonfiction picture book series narrated from the points of view of endangered animals, illustrated by a Caldecott Honoree. Say hello to these incredible animals and learn all about why they need protecting.

Meet the quokka. Most of them live on a tiny island off of Western Australia. Like their relatives kangaroos and wallabies, they hop to get around and carry their babies in pouches.

People say they are the happiest animal in the world. That's because they're very friendly, and their faces look like they are built for smiling - perfect for taking selfies with!
