Fly, Mama, Fly!
Soar through the Australian night sky with a flying-fox mum and her pup!
Fly, Mama, Fly! takes young readers on a magical nocturnal journey with a Grey-headed flying fox and her pup. As they glide through the moonlit Australian landscape, this enchanting tale celebrates the unbreakable bond between mother and child while subtly weaving in themes of wildlife conservation.
Anna McGregor, award-winning author and illustrator of Anemone is Not the Enemy and Who's Afraid of the Light?, brings her signature bold style to both text and artwork. Her lyrical rhymes and vibrant illustrations, featuring fluorescent colours against deep night hues, capture the wonder of Australia's nocturnal world.
Perfect for evening cuddles, this story sparks curiosity about native wildlife and offers a valuable resource for learning about Australian ecosystems. Whether snuggled up at home, shared in a classroom, or enjoyed during library story time, this tale celebrates moments of wonder and connection. The book's unique sideways orientation also adds an extra element of fun, inviting little hands to interact with each page.
Fly, Mama, Fly! is more than just a bedtime story – it's a journey of love, an exploration of Australian nature, and a gentle reminder of our role in protecting the world around us.
