The Lamb-a-roo

By Diana Kimpton
Illustrated by Rosalind Beardshaw

A baby lamb and a kangaroo cross paths in this delightful picture book.

When a kangaroo finds a baby lamb who's crying out for a maa, she falls in love with him and puts him in her pouch. The only problem is that he's so different from his new family of bouncing kangaroos. But when the little lamb and Maa try to be more like each other, things just aren't the same.

  • A gentle introduction to the topic of adoption.
  • Illustrations depict an Australian outback setting.
  • Shows that it's our differences that make us special.
