Synopsis

Karl the kangaroo was born with a body that's different from the other boys' — he has a pouch, rare and wonderfully unique.


He was also born with a wise and caring mother who helps him understand that being different doesn't mean being alone.

Join Karl and his mom as they navigate life with tenderness, curiosity, and courage.

Together they explore big feelings, new experiences, and what it truly means to belong in your own body.

A gentle, beautifully illustrated story for sensitive kids, anxious kids, kids who feel "different," and every family growing their emotional toolkit.

Perfect for ages 4–8, this heartwarming picture book supports conversations about feelings, self-esteem, identity, and the magic of being yourself.

For parents, educators, and therapists looking for emotional-literacy picture books — Karl's story is a soothing and empowering companion.

About this title

About the Author

Canadian author Sarah Kelly never planned to write books-Karl made her do it. One minute she was crafting corporate emails, the next, a curious marsupial had nudged her toward something more meaningful. Now she tells stories that celebrate empathy, acceptance, and the everyday heroes among us. When she's not writing, she's sharing tea with woodland guests or cheering on parents doing the impossible. This is her debut-but according to Karl, it's only the beginning.
