Pip and Felix are back again for another adventure-filled tale, full of heroism and bravery. It all starts when they receive an invitation to their friend’s wedding. But on their way, their little pitstop is a lot longer than expected. As the weather takes a turn, so does their journey. When lighting sparks a grassfire, Pip, Felix and the local animals must get the message out fast and escape quickly. “COO-EE” can be heard from far and wide alerting others and calling for help. Wombats, kangaroos, animals big and small all work together to get to safety, in true bush style.

“COO-EE” Call from the Bush is Lorraine de Kleuver’s sixth published work. It’s perfect timing with all that’s occurred in Australia and the world in the last couple of years. The messages in the story are clear; it is a celebration of resilience, compassion and community mindset. All of which define us as human beings. “COO-EE” Call from the Bush is an inspiring story for the family.

We would like to premise this story by acknowledging the Traditional Custodians of the Australian bushland and pay our respects to their Elders past and present, of which this call is a part of their ancestral heritage.
