The Last Hollow by Ben Dessen

Deep in the heart of the forest stood the mighty Elder Tree, a sanctuary for creatures great and small. But when disaster strikes and the ancient tree is lost, two red-tailed black cockatoos Marlin and Banksi must embark on a desperate search for a new place to call home. In The Last Hollow, Ben Dessen and illustrator Tay Timoney bring to life a warm and moving story that highlights the challenges of habitat loss, the bonds between wildlife and humans, and the resilience of nature. A beautifully illustrated, thoughtful picture book that invites children to care for the natural world.

Recommended age group: 4-8 years (suitable for early readers and read-aloud sessions)
