The Little Koala's Question

In a tall, green forest, a little koala named Kip spends his days chewing eucalyptus leaves and listening to the sounds around him. One day he nibbles a leaf from his own tree and then one from the tree next door, noticing that they look the same but taste completely different. That small observation becomes a question that buzzes in his head and sets the whole story in motion.

A possum named Pip, carrying a little blue backpack and a notebook, offers to help Kip find out why. Together the two friends climb through the forest, tasting narrow lemon-scented leaves, soft silver ones, bitter flat ones and tiny spicy ones, and writing down what they find. A butterfly points them toward the creek, where the leaves taste extra sweet, and their collecting turns into a leaf map as other animals join in. Written by Çınar BİBER, this gentle tale can be read on Masalcı Baba and follows a curious pair of friends rather than a grand adventure.
