A feelgood story portraying a positive message about facing up to change, something that young children can sometimes struggle with.

KOALA IN A TREEHOUSE
In the original story by Rachel Bright, Kevin the Koala falls out of his tree because a Woodpecker pecks down the branch he's sitting on.
I adapted this concept to a tree house, and in my production Kevin emerges from his very own little home amongst the branches of a gum tree!
