About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is grappling with the heavy weight of a secret or the crushing guilt that follows a lapse in honesty. It is a perfect choice for the child who feels small and relies on external 'magic' to find their courage. The story follows the last Potaroo, a shy creature who visits Miss Lily's tropical holiday house. When the Potaroo secretly takes Miss Lily's glamorous pink feather boa, she discovers that while the accessory makes her feel brave and beautiful, the guilt of the theft begins to dim her sparkle. This gentle, beautifully illustrated tale explores the nuance of integrity and the liberating power of a sincere apology. It is ideal for children aged 4 to 8 who are learning that true confidence comes from within and that even big mistakes can be mended through honesty.
