Twenty orphaned ostrich chicks. One small cat. A very unexpected detour.

Book 6: The Ostriches

Casper’s home lies east. The ostrich chicks’ family lies north. When Felicity and her nineteen brothers need help, Casper turns north anyway.

The chicks have been told they are too birdbrained to think for themselves. Guiding them across the bush will take patience, encouragement and help from some memorable companions, including Wigbert the warthog and an ancient leopard tortoise.

But a cheetah is watching for a straggler. With danger drawing closer, can Casper help the young birds trust their own ideas—and each other?

A funny, tender adventure about challenging unkind labels, taking responsibility and discovering what a family can achieve together.

An adventure to share and grow with

For early chapter readers aged 5–10, these stories are made for growing independence and for reading aloud with a parent or grandparent. Share Casper’s mishaps, worry with her when things go wrong, and cheer her on as she finds her courage. There is room for laughter, a few tears and the kind of conversation that continues after the book is closed.

• Beautiful full-colour illustrations bring Casper and her animal companions to life.
• Wildlife fact sections feed curious minds and a growing interest in Africa’s animals and their habitats.
• Kindness, resilience and problem-solving emerge through the adventure, giving families gentle ways to talk about real feelings and choices.
