Description
Sydney to Paris is a very long way, and Chloe’s grandmother never did make the trip. So every birthday, Chloe sent something from home instead: a postcard of the harbor, a jar of honey, a eucalyptus leaf pressed flat in a letter. The year she finally visited, she brought a small kangaroo, and her grandmother set it right beside the clock in the sitting room where she could see it every day and think of the granddaughter on the other side of the world.
This standing kangaroo, alert and upright on a rich green base, is a warm nod to Australia’s most famous resident. It makes a wonderful gift for an Australian living abroad, a traveler home from the outback, or a friend who keeps a world map full of pins. Tall and slender, it fits neatly on a bookshelf between travel guides, or on a windowsill where the morning light can catch its painted fur, as bright as an afternoon in the bush.
