Koala Lou by Mem Fox

4.0

I feel this book will best resonate with people who have large families: as more children join a family, older siblings notice that there is less focus on them. This story addresses the feelings of an older child in this situation. The moral of the story is that Koala Lou always had her mother's love, even if she can no longer be solely devoted to Koala Lou.

Families with abandonment issues should steer clear of this one, as it can bring up unintended hurt.

The colourful art features stylised native animals and beautiful plants.
