Koala Rescue is a story based on the popular and cuddly native Australian koala and two hero birds.

The theme of this colorfully illustrated book is leadership, bravery and kindness by the hero birds.

Trust and perseverance by the fleeing koalas.

The devastating 2019 bushfire in Coastal NSW Australia inspired Denise to write and illustrate this children’s book.

It is here that Denise, retired teacher of 40 years, wrote the story while on holiday.

This story is suitable to be read to young children and older readers. 8 years – 10+ years.

The story lends itself to much discussion about koalas and other native animal habitats in the Australian environment.
