Kindness is like a boomerang – if you throw it often, it comes back often. Kookoo entertains his animal friends by telling stories about their silly behaviour; he helps them to laugh at themselves. Then he becomes a little too cocky and starts to poke fun at them. The animals turn away. Only when kindness returns to his tales does it rebound from his friends and they laugh together again. The illustrations vibrate with colours of the landscape, in a contemporary representational style that references the Aboriginal dot style.
