A Week at Snug Bend will become an important tool for parents and teachers alike to inspire children to follow their dreams and reach their full potential. 

Snug Bend is a sleepy little hollow in the Australian bush. Close to encroaching human development, the animals learn environmental lessons, as they see how their actions affect everything and everyone around them. 

Join your children on a wonderful journey Down Under in this delightful book featuring wildlife that children can identify with and embrace. There’s Wally Wombat and Larry Lizard; Simon Echidna, who blames someone else for his own shortcomings; the quiet and reserved Kim Koala; extroverted and adventure-loving Karen Kookaburra; Ty Platypus, a shy guy who proudly wears his “Save the World” badge; and Kanga, the wise old kangaroo, who teaches some important lessons about life.
