Two stories. One world. A reading experience that grows with your child.

Bring home both Maxie and Indie and explore the Australian bush through the eyes of a curious joey and a devoted mother.

Together, these companion stories offer a richer reading experience, exploring friendship, curiosity, and courage alongside the powerful bond between parent and child. With Maxie’s playful adventure and Indie’s more layered journey through motherhood, these books naturally support developing attention, and understanding over time.

Grounded in real kangaroo behaviour and brought to life through beautifully illustrated watercolour artwork, they help children connect with wildlife while recognising the similarities between animal and human families.

Written and classically hand-painted in watercolour by our very own local wildlife conservation artist Kelly Ryner, this rhyming read-aloud is a masterpiece of narrative-driven early wildlife education.

Recipient of the prestigious Kirkus Star (one of the highest honours in children's publishing) and the Literary Titan Gold Book Award.

Designed for young readers, these book sbeautifully supports Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) and early STEM education.
