In 2018 I created illustrations for a series of educational books for Rising Starts UK Ltd. The third of these books, “Catch Up, Koala!” is about a Koala and his best friend: A Kangaroo. One morning Kangaroo want’s to visit the Big Red Rock with Koala. Will Koala be able to catch up with his Kangaroo friend?
