The Lady of Rara-Jou: A Story about Giving, by Julie le Cornu (Brok Pty Ltd, 2019, $19.95 Australian, 30 pp HB) 6th in a series*
A rhyming book with the final word of each line in color, The Lady of Rara-Jou** is an experience your child will have fun with, learning some Australian words and spellings to boot!
The lady of Rara-Jou has a hole in her heart that she tries to fill with things that belong to other people, things that the reader will love to point out and name, even the Teddy Bear with one leg.
How the lady learns that taking things from others will not make her happy in the long run is a story to remember.

**Rara-Jou is a solar system and the lady is blue in more ways than one
PS - giving is the opposite of taking
