A heartwarming twist on a classic rhyme about a little girl, a kangaroo, and a shared bond.

Set in the Australian Outback in the late 1800s, Mary Had a Little Roo is a charming twist on a beloved nursery rhyme. When young Mary finds an orphaned kangaroo joey, she raises him with love and care. But as Lamb the roo grows, it becomes clear he belongs in the wild. With warmth and gentle humour, this beautifully illustrated story explores the balance between love and letting go.

A celebration of friendship, nature, and the unique bond we share with animals, this story also offers a window into Australia’s past and the importance of wildlife conservation.

Teagan Bouma

Teagan Bouma is an Australian author who grew up in the idyllic countryside of Victoria, where her love for nature began. As a child, she was fascinated by insects and small creatures, often accidentally releasing them into her parents’ home.

These early adventures sparked a lifelong curiosity that Teagan now channels into her stories. When not writing, Teagan enjoys hiking through Australia’s diverse landscapes with her husband and three sons and expressing her love of the natural world through painting.
