Koalabirds and the Butterfly Birthday, Children's Book written and illustrated by Dorothy Tully

Koalabirds are koalas who can fly! They live in a magical land of great green forests, fairies, and all sorts of animals. In this story, six-year-old koalabird Cloud wishes for a rainbow butterfly to join her at her birthday party!

Will she be disappointed if the wild and free butterfly doesn't appear?

And what is Mommy crafting along the bottom of the pages?

Enter the joyous world of Koalabirds and join Cloud at her summer backyard party with glittering peach cake, painting, dancing, family, and friends!
