Simply and eloquently, this book follows young koala Jimmy as he's rescued from his dead mother's side, taken to the Koala Hospital in New South Wales, and rehabilitated for many months. Evocative photos--some with Aboriginal folk-art borders--illustrate this process, which culminates in Jimmy's release into the wild. A map/fact page and photographer's note conclude the book.
