The story

In the red sandy desert, in a deep cosy burrow, lives a little bilby named Benny. He makes glowing star lanterns, delicious seed cakes and the very best mud sculptures. But Benny is shy, and whenever someone says hello, his big ears go pink and he hides.

One evening Benny has a big idea: he'll throw a party! But what if nobody comes? Taking a deep breath, he invites Blue the lizard, Suki the sugar glider and Wren the wallaby, and that night his lanterns light up the sand as his neighbours arrive one by one.
