About this event
Cobber - Cobber is a cassowary living in the Wet Tropics region of Northern Australia.Cobber’s father had told him that cassowaries had a special purpose for being in the rainforest, but he forgot to tell him exactly WHAT it was.“All I do is eat and poo,” Cobber thinks to himself. “I must find my real purpose for being in the rainforest.”So Cobber sets out on an adventure to find his true purpose.Follow Cobber through the rainforest as he asks the many creatures that he meets along the way, but none are able to answer him.Cobber is enlightened by a wise owl who explains how VERY important Cobber’s purpose is in the rainforest and that the answer had been right behind him all the time!Can you guess what the answer was?
Flip and Flap - Flip and Flap are two Little Penguins who leave the safety of their secluded cove and head out into Sydney Harbour. But they don’t realise how dangerous the journey will beand that the city is not the place for penguins!What do Flip and Flap encounter out in the harbour? Will they be able to make it back safely to their colony before sunset and avoid all the dangers along the way?Manly in New South Wales is home to a breeding colony of Little Penguins, but their numbers are dwindling. Foxes, domestic animals, boat strikes and floating garbage all pose a threat to the Little Penguin population.A portion of the profits from the sale of this book will be donated to the Foundation for National Parks & Wildlife to assist in the ongoing protection and preservation of Manly’s Little Penguin colony. https://fnpw.org.au/
