An illustrated book for children of all ages aboutJack, a young kookaburra living with his family amongst other birds and animals in an Australian bushland setting. Jack is learning about life. He has a problem though, he can’t call as a kookaburra is supposed to do: he can't kooka. Then, one day a challenging incident involving a goanna happens which Jack turns into an opportunity to find his voice and a new friend. Because of his courage he ends up growing in wisdom, generosity, and experience.
Born in Melbourne, Siobhan was raised in regional Victoria, Canberra, and Hong Kong. She has worked in different parts of Australia and around the world, often in challenging circumstances, such as in conflict and post-disaster zones, or amongst the marginalised. These adventures, along with studies in philosophy, linguistics, medicine, epidemiology, hypnotism and somatic psychotherapy have all aided a personal journey to connect with others and herself. Currently she also practices Sufi whirling, sings with the Melbourne Glee Club and dances ecstatically. The Kookaburra that Could is her first book: it is a distillation of experiences and ideas, friendship and community.
* Illustrations are beautiful, original watercolour paintings. * Jack learns about himself and about others. * A wonderful sense of animal communities.
