But TAPPITY TAPPITY TAP, there’s someone on the tree Kevin is clinging to. Would Kevin let go?
The main theme of this story is about overcoming fears and dealing with change. The Koala clinging to a tree is a metaphor for us clinging to a routine and staying in our comfort zone. But adventure begins outside it. And to expand our comfort zone, we have to try new things and explore and when you are willing to do that , you may as well surprise yourself, finding a bolder and stronger version of you.
Sometimes change comes our way, whether we like it or not, but accepting and embracing that change is what this book is all about.
Kevin’s friends are also supportive and encourage Kevin throughout the story to embrace change, willingly offering help.
While learning about embracing change, children will also get to know about various australian animals.
