A kangaroo leaps across the ocean to Japan - a tender bedtime picture book about listening, saying sorry, and the quiet kind of brave.

Kodi is off on his second big adventure. This time one enormous leap - onto the back of a humpback whale - carries him all the way to a blossom-covered hillside in Japan, where the cherry trees are just waking up. There he meets Aiko, a snow monkey who has waited all year for one special branch to bloom. Kodi wants to be seen. Aiko just wants to be heard. But when Kodi's biggest, boldest jump goes wrong, he learns that some things, once they fall, can't simply hop back up - and that the gentlest jump can be the bravest one of all.

Why kids (and the grown-ups reading aloud) love it:

  • A rhythmic, read-aloud bedtime story with the silvery Same Moon to find on the page for little listeners
  • A real animal-friendship story - kangaroo meets snow monkey - set in a real place, Kyoto, Japan
  • Gentle lessons in listening, patience, and making things right that never feel like a lecture
  • Book 2 of a 12-book journey around the real world, with a new animal friend and one small keepsake tucked into Kodi's pouch at every stop
  • Full-color illustrations in a sturdy paperback picture book, ideal for ages 3-7
A warm, funny bedtime read-aloud about carrying home with you wherever you go - Kodi's second stop on his journey around the world.

Perfect for: bedtime routines, story time, animal-loving kids, young travelers and geography fans, and gift-givers looking for a keepsake picture book for birthdays, baby showers, or new-sibling gifts. Ages 3-7 - Grades Preschool-2 - Book 2 of the Kodi the Kangaroo series
