Lily the Lamington: Sees the Great Barrier Reef

From Award-Winning Author Emma Clare

When a fluffy, coconut-dusted lamington named Lily overhears tales of the Great Barrier Reef's dazzling rainbow corals, cheeky clownfish, and gentle sea turtles, her squishy little heart races with wonder. No more sitting pretty on a Cairns birthday party plate she's off on the adventure of a lifetime!

Tumbling to freedom, Lily embarks on a rollicking Queensland quest: dodging nosy cassowaries with their prehistoric helmets, outwitting clingy mango trees dripping sticky sweetness, sneaking past souvenir-shop shelves stacked with keyrings and koala plushies, braving a wild salty squall (with a little help from leaf blowers, coconut catapults, and timely rain showers), and finally hitching a ride on a bubbly tour boat bound for paradise.

With every clever escape and giggle-worthy mishap, this smallest, squishiest hero proves that even the most unlikely adventurer with a sprinkle of coconut courage can chase the biggest dreams.

Bursting with vibrant Australian charm, laugh-out-loud moments, and a breathtaking underwater finale that sparkles like the reef itself, this 32-page full-colour picture book (7x7 inches, softcover perfect bound) is a delicious celebration of bravery, friendship, and the magic of saying "yes" to wonder.

Perfect for ages 3–103, classroom read-alouds, family storytimes, libraries, schools, and anyone who believes a little lamington can dream and swim BIG!

A scrumptious journey from party plate to paradise… because every sweet treat deserves its own epic tale!
