What happens when a cautious young kangaroo becomes a mother herself?

In this award-winning heartfelt follow-up to Maxie Roo Is Just Like You!, readers follow Indie as she steps into her new role raising her very own joey, Charlie. Through Indie’s journey into motherhood, children discover the remarkable journey of a growing kangaroo and the universal bond between parent and child.

Set in the coastal bushland of New South Wales, Indie Roo Is Now a Mother Too! provides a fascinating, true-to-life look at the growth and development of a kangaroo joey, from living snug in mum's pouch to learning safety rules and taking his first independent hops. Along the way, readers encounter a rich cast of Australian wildlife including eagles, wallabies, wombats, possums, echidnas, and colourful parrots.

Written and illustrated in hand-painted watercolour by by our very own local wildlife artist Kelly Ryner, this rhyming read-aloud is a valuable addition to home libraries, classrooms, and early childhood collections, as well as a beautiful tribute to maternal love.

Winner of the Literary Titan Gold Book Award, Indie Roo Is Now A Mother Too! is a heartwarming, rhyming picture book. Praised by Kirkus Reviews as "a sweet celebration of motherhood".

Perfect for children, expectant mothers, new parents, and classrooms alike, this book supports early STEM learning and Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) by exploring gentle themes of nurturing, growth, caregiving, and resilience.
