Roo Roo, a once shy and unsure baby kangaroo, invites us to see how he transforms into a kind, brave and friendly kangaroo as he hops, skips and jumps into making new friends in the forest. We have all been in Roo Roo’s shoes at some point in our life, for some of us it may have been the first day of school, or the first day of college or the first day in a new neighborhood etc. and we loved how this story is a reinforcement that its okay to feel scared but still try to venture into an unfamiliar space- Along with the story, the beautiful illustrations and reference to a large of variety of animals, makes it a wonderful read.
