'Locally Wild' is a glossy, fully-illustrated book for kids written by one of the nation's best children's authors. Chris Cheng introduces readers to a nation of native-animal enthusiasts whose hobby is caring for fauna as diverse as turtles, cockatoos, bats, native honey bees and marsupials like quolls and possums. We also meet the kids who have transformed their communities and neighbourhoods into native animal sanctuaries, and their own yards into havens of animal life.
'Locally Wild' is a how-to-guide for children 9 to 14, parents, teachers and enthusiasts of all ages that explains how to care for those native animals we are allowed to keep under existing laws; from caging, feeding and keeping them healthy, to where to get them from and the local hobby groups you can join.
