Pauli Broccoli and Sojourner are off to Australia!
After making new friends in China and Ecuador, Pauli climbs onto Sojourner's big blue back and flies to the land down under - a country filled with sunny beaches, coral reefs, rainforests, red desert landscapes, kangaroos, koalas, kookaburras, mango trees, and exciting new words.
There, Pauli meets Mate Mango, a cheerful mango friend with a sunny smile and a big Aussie heart.
Together, Pauli, Sojourner, and Mate Mango explore the Great Barrier Reef, the Outback, Australian animals, mango trees, colorful art, Aussie words, and the important lesson that being brave does not mean you have no worries - it means you try something new anyway.
