New kids book: Luca and the Moth - a colourful journey into conservation
Explore the fascinating world of the endangered Pink Underwing Moth through a fun picture book that explores and showcases Australia’s rainforests.
Luca and the Moth teaches kids about habitat conservation and supports real-world efforts to restore ecosystems.
The beautifully illustrated book is a great way for kids to learn about the endangered Pink Underwing Moth, found in South East Queensland. While it was written for ages 5-9, it has appeal for any young at heart nature lover.
As one of the many faces of the threatened ecosystem of the Lowland Rainforests of Subtropical Australia, the authors Barbara Kelly and Paola Castro have created a delightful little Pokémon-like caterpillar and moth to represent this flagship species of our region. The delightful story helps kids to understand how conserving their habitat is vital in helping the moth’s survival as well as that of many species and communities in this ecosystem.
