A funny rhyming story about dealing with change and overcoming worries, from the bestselling creators of The Lion Inside.
In a wonderful place, at the breaking of dawn, where the breezes were soft and the sunshine was warm, a place where the creatures ran wild and played free ... A Koala called Kevin clung to a tree.
Meet Kevin. A koala who likes to keep things the same. Exactly the same. But sometimes change comes along whether we like it or not... And, as Kevin discovers, if you step outside your comfort zone and try new things, you might just surprise yourself!
WINNER of the Sainsbury's Book Award and the Evening Standard Oscar's Book Prize!
'Fabulous rhymes, I'm in love with Kevin and would like to buy this for all my friends' children.' Claudia Winkleman

Ultimately having the courage to take a chance and try something new leads to a world of possibilities. The text rhymes and is perfect for reading aloud. Suitable for kids who may be anxious about things and it shows them it's ok to be upset and afraid but that sometimes change happens for a reason and it can be good. Great book.

My favourite thing about this book (and A Lion Inside and The Squirrels who Squabbled) is the message, which is so positive, but not at all forced. Given the light-hearted tone of the three books I wasn’t expecting “lessons”, but they are so sweetly given and such positive messages that it has pushed these books to my “most bought” for the kids I know.
