MISS LILY’S FABULOUS FEATHER BOA

MISS LILY’S FABULOUS FEATHER BOA

Something so fabulous just has to be magic…

Based on the book by Margaret Wild

The guests at Miss Lily’s Tropical Holiday House enjoy relaxing days and cheerful company – and no one needs it more than the lonely Last Potoroo.

When Miss Lily takes to the stage with her fabulous feather boa the timid Potoroo is filled with the feeling that she could do anything, if only the feather boa could be hers. Soon a plan is set in motion with very unexpected consequences.

Rambunctious families of koalas and wombats share the stage with the Potoroo and a dancing crocodile of incomparable glamour in this uplifting story that celebrates kindness, courage, and a little marsupial pride!
