Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. No matter how hard she tried, Kara the Kakapo just couldn't quite seem to master the art of flying. But with optimism, determination and a little creative thinking can Kara still achieve her dream? This delightful picture book is the writing debut from Wellington zookeeper Danni Rae. Her sto…ry is paired with stunning illustrations from Northland artist Evan Heasman (also known as Soju Shots), which are a visual feast with vibrant colours and layers of detail to keep both children and adults enthralled. Danni wrote Kara the Kakapo, which is the first in a series of animal adventures, as a way to share her passion for conservation with the youngest of readers. As a zookeeper each day I have the opportunity to talk to children about the wonders of animals and conservation. I wanted to use this book as a way to allow children to connect with these animals at home as well, says Danni. Conservation requires optimism, determination and quite a lot of creative thinking and this story introduces children to these concepts through the experiences of one of New Zealand's most endangered species. Hopefully it's the first step in creating an awareness of the natural world around them and motivation to protect it. Danni says kakapo are not as well-known as endangered animals like the tiger or rhino, but she believes this special bird is one of the most unique species on the planet. Conservation is a passion Danni lives and breathes. In mid-April she completed the 3000km Te Araroa Trail (The Long Pathway), which runs the entire length of New Zealand, to raise money for community groups working tirelessly for wildlife conservation in Aotearoa. The journey took six months in all, with five months spent hiking and the other month including rest days, avoiding weather systems and the logistical challenges of covid lockdowns. Danni travelled alone, but had the pleasure of meeting other hikers and she made some incredible friendships on the journey. The trip was not without challenges, both physical and mental, but Danni said she learnt she was capable of pushing herself further than she could have imagined. In comparison the process of writing a book seemed a lot more straightforward with clear steps to follow, but hiking in nature aways provides awe and inspiration. No matter how hard she would try, Kara from Kakapo just couldn't quite seem to master the art of flying.But with optimism, determination and a little creative thinking can Kara still achieve her dream?
