Description:

Holiday time! The whole family is buzzing with excitement — packing bags, planning the beach trip, counting down the days. Everyone, that is, except Koala. What if she doesn't like the beach? What if the food is strange? What if everything feels completely wrong away from the comfort of home? These very familiar worries bubble up as Koala nervously faces her first time away from familiar surroundings. Fortunately, her kind and reassuring sister is right there to help her think through each worry and find her confidence one step at a time. Part of the Experiences Matter! series by Sue Graves, this funny and warm picture book gently introduces young children to the sometimes-daunting experience of going on holiday. It includes practical suggestions for parents and teachers to help children reflect on and talk through their own first-time experiences — making it a wonderfully useful read-aloud for any family.
