The Kiwi That Kept Tumbling Down

By Hein Doeksen

This unique illustrated children's story features a lively conversation between two flightless birds from New Zealand: the fast-running, loud-sniffing Kiwi and the clumsy-climbing, deep-croaking Kakapo. The two birds discuss a shared issue: they often fall to the ground. As their conversation unfolds, they discover that this is a problem they can actually solve. However, the fact that they cannot fly is not something they can change. It is not their problem, but simply their situation. Through humour and heart, this gentle tale introduces young readers to the difference between a problem and a situation. Adults, too, may find themselves reflecting on this thoughtful distinction, gaining a deeper perspective on how we respond to the challenges we face in life.
