Following on from The Fire Wombat and The Turtle and the Flood, The Drought Kangaroo is the third title in the series that focuses on animals and the challenges they face in environmental disaster, be it fire, flood, and now drought.

Drought has devastated Joseph the kangaroo's home. He longs for green grass and the cool, clear water he can smell in the distance.

Kangaroos can leap higher and further than any other animal, but can even Joseph's strong hind legs help him reach the waterhole? And will the new mob there accept a stranger?

Created by Jackie French and Danny Snell, the award-winning duo of The Fire Wombat and The Turtle and the Flood, this is a true story about a young kangaroo who went on the longest journey of his life and ended up living by a creek on Jackie's property.

Danny Snell

Danny Snell is a freelance illustrator living in Adelaide, Australia. He trained at the Adelaide Central School of Art and the University of South Australia, graduating with a Bachelor of Design (Illustration) in 1992.

Danny is a self-confessed bower bird and collector of ephemera, and it is these odds and ends, along with a love of line and texture, that he coaxes and weaves together to produce illustrations for use in editorial, design and advertising.

And to ensure that he doesn't forget how to paint Danny (dons an entirely different hat) and illustrates children's books. If the planets one day align he hopes to merge these two disciplines and create something to make you smile.
