What happens when a cautious young kangaroo becomes a mother herself?
In this heartfelt follow-up to the award-winning Maxie Roo Is Just Like You!, readers follow Indie as she steps into her new role raising her very own joey, Charlie. Through Indie’s journey into motherhood, children discover the remarkable journey of a growing kangaroo and the universal bond between parent and child.
Set in the coastal bushland of New South Wales, Indie Roo Is Now a Mother Too! provides a fascinating, true-to-life look at the growth and development of a kangaroo joey, from living snug in mum's pouch to learning safety rules and taking his first independent hops. Along the way, readers encounter a rich cast of Australian wildlife including eagles, wallabies, wombats, possums, echidnas, and colourful parrots.
Written and illustrated in hand-painted watercolour by wildlife artist Kelly Ryner, this rhyming read-aloud is a valuable addition to home libraries, classrooms, and early childhood collections, as well as a beautiful tribute to maternal love.
