'Fluffles is a picture book story based on the real-life antics and behaviours of the koalas in the outback.

'One day, Fluffles and friends noticed bush fires starting in the outback. There was nowhere to escape so they rose up, up, up into the trees to wait it out until the ashes cooled. But when they climbed down, the hot trees burned their tiny paws. While they healed, they found one another and snuggled up, as the big hugs reminded them of their trees. Their care for one another helped make the whole outback feel better. Their hugs were an act of heroism!'
