The Cockatoo Wars

By Helen Milroy

Illustrated by Helen Milroy

Can Black Boss Cocky and White Boss Cocky stop fighting long enough to notice the Bush Mob’s ancient forest is in danger of going up in flames?

Tales from the Bush Mob is a series of books about the Bush Mob, a group of animals who work together to solve problems. Each book shares a rich landscape of characters and places, including Dingo, Willy-willy Wagtail, Eagle, Platypus, Koala, Wombat, Kookaburra, Echidna and Kangaroo. These stories emphasise the value of respect for First Nations culture and country, as well as the importance of courage, perseverance and wisdom to bind communities together.

In this fourth book in the series, you will meet the cockatoo clans who are too busy fighting to notice when a huge fire breaks out. Luckily two mother cockatoos and their sons seek help from the Bush Mob Council. Everyone works together to save the ancient forest and finally there is peace among the cockatoos.

Filled with gorgeous illustrations and exciting tales, this will be a popular book for the whole family.
