More about the new book, Locally Wild: keeping native animals as pets by Christopher Cheng
Locally Wild is a glossy, fully illustrated book for kids written by one of the nation’s best children’s authors. Chris Cheng introduces readers to a nation of native animal enthusiasts whose hobby is caring for fauna as diverse as turtles, cockatoos, bats, native honeybees and marsupials like quolls and possums. We also meet the kids who have transformed their communities and neighbourhoods into native animal sanctuaries, and their own yards into havens of animal life.
