Have you ever had a Big, BIG dream?
Did it make your heart go thump, Thump, THUMP?
Yes, just like you, Koala KuKu has a Big, BIG dream that makes her heart go thump, Thump, THUMP!
With a splash of magic, a dash of courage and a little wish upon a star, come and see how Sweet Koala KuKu makes her big, BIG dreams to be a ballerina come true!
'Oh Sweet Koala KuKu, How she wished to wear her tutu.'
Growing up wild and free on the sandy shores of Western Australia, K S D’arcy has always had a fond love for writing and poetry. “I have always loved to write. I use this natural-born talent to channel the emotions and energy around me, to touch, communicate, inspire and to breathe life into simple, yet delicately chosen words.”
A free-spirited artist with a passion for life, K S D’arcy is an intuitive writer who strongly feels the need to inspire depth, emotion and strength within her writing, a gift she now uses to gently touch the lives and hearts of many children all around the world. These are the very same children who she hopes will feel loved and inspired to make this world a better place. “I don’t have the power to change the world, but I have the magic to inspire the heart of the child who will.”
Sweet Koala Kuku by K.S. D’arcy is an absolutely beautiful book that is just perfect for the under-fives. Although I think it is a beautiful book for any age.
The book is written in rhyme, giving a wonderful bounce-along tempo, enabling our children to easily pick up and join in with the words.
There are lessons to be learnt. We need to just be who we were created to be and not be envious of others. Our dreams are unique to us and if we do not lose sight of them, we can achieve our dreams.
There is repetition reinforcing the dream of Kuku showing that she is steadfast as she strives to wear her tutu.
All the book is beautifully illustrated by Zenja Gammer. Kuku is particularly appealing with her big eyes framed by long lashes. Each page has been carefully thought out, with so much detail. It is a pure joy to share it with our children.
Sweet Koala Kuku is a beautiful book and would look well on any book shelf. I think it is a book to be savored and to be passed down through the generations. Every child should have a copy. It is simply beautiful.
I received a free copy from the publishers. A favourable review was not required. All opinions are my own.
This is a charming book for older readers to read to younger ones. To help them to reach for their dreams, no matter shape or size and believe in themselves.
The use of realistic imagery I am sure children will love too.
