Lil desperately wanted
to join in the class.
But each time she tried,
she'd land PLONK on the grass.
Lil loves doing yoga with her friends, but some poses aren't easy when you're a roly-poly wombat with short legs.
Take a deep breath, salute the sun and watch as Lil finds her own way to lead the bush yoga class.
An affirming story to remind us of our individual and unique talents.
