Kanimbla Wombat books

Fabulous educational books for young ones.

Melinda Kerr is passionate about kangaroos. For two years she looked after Vinnie until, as she says, “he hopped off into the bush.” Melinda is a licenced wildlife carer. Vinnie, an eastern grey kangaroo, came to her as a joey after his mother was hit by a car. “I love that kangaroo,” Melinda says with longing in her voice. “Looking after him changed my life. It changed my whole perspective on the relationships we can have with wildlife and just how unique and special kangaroos are.”

Melinda had already written a story about wombats and she wanted to tell Vinnie’s story too. “I wanted the whole world to fall in love with him the way I did. If families and communities can connect to Vinnie’s story, the next time they’re driving down a country road, maybe they’ll drive a bit slower”.
