Koala Lou feels forgotten as her mother becomes busy with new siblings. Desperate to hear those cherished words of love again, she devises a plan to win her mother's affection by entering the Bush Olympics. Will her efforts bring back the warmth she longs for, or will she discover a deeper truth about family and love? Join Koala Lou on her heartfelt journey, where the stakes are high, and the prize is a mother's love. This charming tale explores the bonds of family and the realization that love is never a competition.
From the publisher
Everyone loved soft, round, cuddly Koala Lou, but her mother loved her most of all and told her so a hundred times a day. As time passed and more little brothers and sisters were born, her mother became too busy to tell Koala Lou that she loved her. Koala Lou grew sad, and oh, how she longed to hear her mother say it once again. Then one day Koala Lou though of a brilliant plan to win back her mother’s love and hear again those wonderful words, “ Koala Lou, I DO love you!”The warmth of Mem Fox’s touching story of enduring mother love is perfectly captured in Pamela Loft’s irresistible illustrations of this delectable little koala.
