Hello, I'm a Quokka (Meet the Wild Things, Book 3) by Hayley Rocco is a new book in the clever, funny, and informative nonfiction picture book series that focuses on endangered species.

"Wild, fun, and truly eye-opening, Meet the Wild Things gets us up close and personal with some of the world's most amazing creatures. With this series, Hayley and John Rocco are doing more than entertaining our kids—they're inspiring them to care about the future of our planet." - Brad Meltzer, bestselling author of the Ordinary People Change the World series

Meet the quokka. Most of them live on a tiny island off of Western Australia. Like their relatives kangaroos and wallabies, they hop to get around and carry their babies in pouches.

People say they are the happiest animal in the world. That's because they're very friendly, and their faces look like they are built for smiling—perfect for taking selfies with!

Chock-full of amazing, kid-friendly facts and inviting artwork from the #1 New York Times bestselling, Caldecott Honoree illustrator of Blackout, the Meet the Wild Things series introduces young readers to endangered animals from around the globe, told from the points of view of the animals themselves.
