THE KOALA WHO COULD

This hard cover book is perfect for toddlers. The colors, animals and the story itself is as well good. My 1 year old keeps looking at all the different animals on the pages. Looking forward to get the other books like Lion Inside, Squabbler from these authors.

Nice book

... but it has a habit of softly tapping adults on the shoulder and saying, “Hey… this might be about you.” Kevin the koala is perfectly happy exactly where he is. Same tree. Same view. Same routine. Why change anything if everything feels safe? New things are suspicious. Change is overrated. And honestly, Kevin has very solid arguments. What makes this story so lovable is how deeply human Kevin feels. His resistance to change is not mocked or rushed. It’s understood. Rachel Bright doesn’t tell children, or adults, to “just be brave”. She shows that fear of change is normal, and that courage often starts with curiosity, not confidence. There is real humour here too. Kevin’s inner monologue will make parents smile knowingly, especially those who have ever said “I’m fine like this” while clinging tightly to their own metaphorical tree. Children will laugh, relate, and feel seen rather than pushed. The illustrations are vibrant and full of life. The contrast between Kevin’s stillness and the buzzing world around him is beautifully done. When the leap finally happens, it feels earned, joyful, and surprisingly emotional. This is a wonderful book to read with children who struggle with transitions, new schools, new routines, or big feelings around change. It’s also a quiet comfort read for grown-ups navigating change while pretending they are totally fine. In short: a hopeful, funny, and compassionate story about change. Not as something to fear, but as something that might just surprise you. And Kevin proves that you don’t stop being scared before you leap. You leap while scared 🐨💚

The Koala Who Could is a delightful story that encourages courage, perseverance, and self-confidence in young children. The rhythmic text and engaging narrative make it easy for little ones to follow along, and the story delivers a positive, motivating message without feeling preachy. The illustrations are colorful and expressive, capturing attention while complementing the storyline beautifully. The book is well-made with sturdy pages, making it suitable for repeated reading by tiny hands. This is a heartwarming and educational read that children and parents will enjoy together. Highly recommended for toddlers and preschoolers

Uno dei libri preferiti da mio figlio (non è bilingue ma riesce a seguire bene la storia in inglese). La rima lo rende accattivante e da ritmo alla lettura, le immagini aiutano a capire anche dove magari c'è un gap linguistico. Insieme a "The Lion Inside", è uno dei più belli. Questo in particolare parla del coraggio di buttarsi in nuove avventure, quindi è molto indicato per quei bambini un pochino "timidi", che faticano a lasciarsi andare alla novità o che sono semplicemente dei super osservatori che si uniscono all'attività solo quando questa ormai è finita. Consiglio di prenderlo in inglese in quanto quello tradotto in italiano non lo trovo altrettanto bello: mancano le rime e quindi la storia perde di "sonorità" e cattura meno (a parer mio) l'interesse del bambino.

Love all of Rachel Bright's books so this was absolutely needed to add to our collection. A lovely story of a koala who struggles to try new things. Highly recommended. Book received in excellent condition.

Les images et les couleurs sont superbes. Amusant à lire pour les parents. Très bien écrit. Parfait dès le plus jeune âge.
