The Very Lonely Cassowary cover

Connie is a cassowary living on Australia's Gold Coast. Unable to fly, she feels different to the birds around her. But when Connie discovers that cassowaries can be found living in the tropical far north of Queensland, she embarks on a determined journey to meet her kin, making friends and enjoying new experiences along the way. The Very Lonely Cassowary is a touching story that encourages readers to celebrate their individuality and the qualities that make us special. The story also features striking artwork that complements the themes, characters, and setting.
