About the Author
Natalie Lonsdale is a former Early Childhood Educator who is currently studying to be a Library Technician. Natalie loves children's literature, photography, travelling, history, and eucalyptus trees. Boondaburra is Natalie's first book, and she is working on several more. Natalie has a heart to write stories that encourage children to delight in God's word and in His love.
Boondaburra is sad. Why do the other animals make fun of him just because he is different?When tragedy strikes in the Australian bush, Boondaburra learns that being unique has its advantages. Boondaburra is the story of a platypus' journey from rejection to accepting and understanding his uniqueness, and the friends who come to accept and admire those differences.
My Thoughts:
What a great way to introduce the idea to children that being unique is not a bad thing.
Right now I'm debating whether I keep this book for my kids (if I ever have any) or if I take it to work for the kids in the after school care program I work in.
I'll be interested to see what Natalie writes next!
