Kaz the Koala wakes up grumpy and wants to stay in the comfort of her cosy tree. But when a rainy day nudges her into the bush, an unexpected flicker and flutter gently shift the course of her day.

Gentle themes of emotional resilience, mindfulness, gratitude and courage are woven softly into the story.
