When Lake Eyre, created by a great flood in the central Australian desert, begins to dry up, Pinta, the pelican, leads her children Preen, Plume, and Pannikin on the long and difficult journey to the coast.
When a flood fills the desert basin of Lake Eyre in Central Australia, pelicans flock to live there. But as the lake begins to dry up again, the pelicans must fly across the desert to the southern coast, in order to survive. This is the story of one family of pelicans who have to make that long, hard journey. Text portrays the physical characteristics, habitats and behaviour of pelicans.
The time had come for all the geese to fly away to another country. Lucy Goosey stared up at the sky. It was vast. Never-ending. 'I'm not going!' she said, and off she ran on her flippy flappy feet. 'Come back, Lucy Goosey,' called her mother, 'or you'll get left behind.' 'Don't care,' honked Lucy Goosey.
Lucy Goosey doesn't' want to leave the pond, even if it means being left behind. But when Lucy Goosey finds herself all alone, she must make a brave decision. Is it more terrifying to be alone, or to face one's greatest fear?
This is a heart-warming story about a child's fear of the unknown, and how a mother's unconditional love can make anything possible.
