Join our Platypus friend as he deals with bullying. Kids can learn that there's nothing wrong with being different.
Boondaburra is sad. Why do the other animals make fun of him just because he is different When tragedy strikes in the Australian bush, Boondaburra learns that being unique has its advantages. Boondaburra is the story of a platypus' journey from rejection to accepting and understanding his uniqueness, and the friends who come to accept and admire those differences.
