By Yimei Wang, Dandan Zhu (Illustrator)
A speedy kangaroo must house birds in her pouch after a crash. Can she adapt?
Jumpy, a swift kangaroo, crashes into a tree, displacing a nest of small birds. Now, she must carry them in her pouch, turning her life upside down. As the birds settle into their cozy new home, Jumpy struggles with the unexpected responsibility. Will she embrace this unusual friendship, or will her hasty nature get the best of her? Discover how Jumpy learns about accountability and the warmth of unexpected bonds in this charming tale of growth and friendship.
Jumpy is a powerful and fast kangaroo–perhaps a little too fast, because one day, she collides headfirst with a tree. She knocks down a nest of small birds, whose home is ruined. Now, Jumpy must face the consequences of the trouble she’s caused, which involves housing the birds in her pouch. The birds love their warm and safe new home, but will Jumpy ever warm up to the idea of her pouch being a nest?
