Aussie Outback Olympics

A beautifully illustrated story book with delightful read-aloud rhyme that will captivate both grown-up and child.

Kolbie Koala would love to participate in the Aussie Outback Olympics, and join the other animals on the day.
But everyone knows Kolbie is not good at sports... but does she go, and will she win the gumnut crown?

This heartwarming story conveys the importance of forgiveness, and an appreciation of our special uniqueness.

In this message, Jane Louise Barclay also explores self-belief, failure, courage, and persistence in overcoming adversity, and how we can use both our strengths and weaknesses for good.

Also included is a butterfly counting task on each page and the butterfly's life cycle towards the end of the book.

Aussie Bush Olympics - Review
My three children, aged 3-5 years, love this gorgeously illustrated Aussie children's book. With a heart warming storyline, it shares a powerful message - the importance of being kind and caring rather than focusing on being the 'winner'. My children adore all of the outback bush animals, such as Kolbie Koala, Izzy Emu and their friends. For a little extra fun, there is a butterfly counting activity on each page and the butterfly's 'life cycle' towards the end of the book. A beautiful message encouraging children to always embrace their special uniqueness in life. I will be recommending this to all my friends and family with children. Bek
