Charlie and chops met there Peacock Pals at the Homestead

by Maxine Nankervis

A sunny visit to Mataranka Homestead takes a colourful turn when Charlie, Chops and Indy hear rustling in the trees—and meet Paul, a peacock who loves to show off his splendid feathers.

Paul struts, shakes and wiggles to impress Pauline and the other peahens. They keep walking, but his lively performance soon makes Charlie, Chops, Indy and the other peacocks laugh. When Paul comes closer, the new friends discover that his confidence, cheerful nature and bright feathers make him special just as he is.

This warm picture-book adventure invites preschoolers to enjoy a playful homestead visit and a gentle story about friendship, laughter and appreciating what makes each of us different. Meet Pauline and the wandering peacock flock as they explore together beneath the trees and share a sunny day.
