Esther and the Flower

By Renate Millett

In the heart of drought-stricken Canberra, Esther the sulphur-crested cockatoo discovers a tiny bluebell fighting to survive. As a raging bushfire tears through her home, she does everything she can to protect the fragile flower. When the rains finally come, she thinks the danger is over-until humans arrive with diggers and strange tools. Fearing the worst, Esther watches closely, only to realise they are bringing new life to the land. A touching story of resilience, renewal, and hope in the face of destruction.
