‘Blue Kangaroo belongs to Lily’. The Blue Kangaroo books are modern classics, and Emma Chichester Clark one of our finest illustrators. This story, told to Blue Kangaroo by Lily, describes the beginning of their relationship. Lily’s little brother Jack had just been born and she was trying hard to be a good big sister. But looking after babies is a skill, and takes practice – enter Blue Kangaroo, delivered by Grandma. There are gentle messages about families, love and growing up in all the Blue Kangaroo stories, not least this one, while there’s a richness of colour to the illustrations that makes them seem to glow more brightly than ever.
