Congratulations to Gina Newton on the publication of
Combat Wombat to the Rescue
illustrated by Tiffanee Daley and published by Ford Street.
‘Womba-rumbaaaa! I’m Combat Wombat, Wildlife Warrior of the Bush.’ With only his wombat wits, strong claws and big behind, Combat Wombat faces many obstacles, including sneaky Bingo Dingo, to lead his bush pals in a race against a raging bushfire.
This book highlights the benefits of facing your fears, leadership, and teamwork – traits that build resilience. Commissioned before Black Summer, it provides a timely opportunity to enhance literacy learning while exploring this sensitive topic aided by comprehensive Teacher Notes.
