Edwina The Emu 30th Anniversary Edition

Edwina The Emu 30th Anniversary Edition by Sheena Knowles is a rollicking Australian picture book that follows on from the beloved Edward the Emu, with a fresh twist on family life and finding where you fit.

After Edward meets his mate Edwina, life gets busy fast: there are little emus to look after, and this time Edwina heads out into the world to job search while Edward stays on the nest. As she tries on different roles, things don’t always go to plan—resulting in plenty of laugh-out-loud moments and a gentle, modern look at identity, work, and parenting.

Perfect for children aged 3–8, fans of funny picture books, and families who love Australian wildlife stories with heart (and a dash of chaos).

Add it to your bookshelf for a playful read-aloud that still feels spot-on today.
