FITZROY, a young kangaroo, loves living in the outback of Australia with his kangaroo family. This season the outback is greener than usual, and the beautiful plants growing against the red earth delight him. Then he notices the nasty pile of trash that sits alongside the railroad tracks. Every day it grows bigger and bigger, and gets smellier and smellier. Some of the little joeys are even getting sick!
Fitzroy is determined to find a way to clean up the hot mess and ensure that it never collects in the outback again. But it’s a big job, too big to do by himself. How will he clean it up? It will take a lot of paws and claws to get the job done!
Fitzroy and the mob find that sometimes the help you need is right there beside you. You just have to have the courage to step forward and ask for it.
Fitzroy, a young kangaroo, lived in the Australian outback. This year the outback was full of leafy shrubs and new, prickly grass. There were even small, scattered pools of water sparkling on the dusty, rust-colored plain.
His kangaroo mob would enjoy the splendid view much more, if it weren’t for the garbage pile sitting near the train tracks.
“It’s because it rained,” Fitzroy said. He wiggled a bit to make himself comfy in his mother’s pouch.
It’s not enough to teach a child to keep their room clean. We need to teach them to keep the ‘outback’ clean as well. Our planet is our home, and One Hot Mess, A Child’s Environmental Fable teaches that lesson through a wonderful full color illustrated tale.
