Meet Quokka! You might know him as the Happiest Animal on Earth. But although Quokka has puffy cheeks, bright eyes, and a beaming grin, he is definitely not happy. At least not all of the time.

Looks can be deceiving, so join Quokka at Rottnest Island and allow him to clear up the biggest marsupial misunderstanding.

I Am Not Happy! by Caroline L Perry invites readers to discover the real emotions of this charming creature, beyond the smile we all associate with him.

About the Author

Caroline L. Perry has always thought that Aussie animals are amazing, but a close encounter with a quokka made her the happiest human on Earth. Born in the UK, Caroline hopped around several countries before settling in Los Angeles, California. When she isn't working on her children's books and volunteering as a kids' writing coach, she spends her time planning adventures with her Kiwi-Aussie husband and their three mini-marsupials, who can always turn her frown upside down.

Sydney Hanson was raised in Minnesota alongside numerous pets and brothers. When she wasn't tunneling through snowdrifts or rescuing frogs from rain gutters, she was drawing. Her illustrations and paintings still reflect these early adventures and are marked by a love for animals and the natural world. She lives in Los Angeles where she's worked for several animation shops. In her spare time, she enjoys traveling and spending time outside with her adopted brother, a Labrador retriever named Cash.
