AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Kingsley is a kookaburra born cross-eyed. He wants to be like his parents and his brother gumnut. He tries and tries but he finds flying and catching his own food very difficult. With lots of practise Kingsley learns to fly and land and catch food even though he's cross-eyed, in fact him being cross-eyed is his advantage against an eagle who is flying after his brother - Kingsley with saves the day with a circular swoop at top speed! Hooray! 

'A gorgeous story about how being unique is a wonderful thing, that perseverance is key and believing in yourself to achieve your goals is important.'
