This is not an ordinary book: it's a BookCrossing book! BookCrossing books are world travelers - they like to have adventures and make new friends...and with your help, they can even write home to say what they've been doing! (You may remain anonymous if you wish.)

Children's hardcover; no dust jacket. Story by Suzanne Kita with illustrations by Lambert Davis. From the Rotary fundraiser at Waikiki School; zoomable photo here.

Odd as it may sound, there really are wild wallabies living in Hawaii...and have been since 1916. The most recently document sighting is from 2018.

On the back cover, Willie has the extremely rare opportunity to see a family of Hawaiian wallabies - the real ones mostly live in remote areas which are either privately owned or controlled by the US military.

There are ferns growing on the ground and a breadfruit tree up above.

Wednesday, April 22, 2020: Wednesday's walk took me to the surfing LFL. :)

Zoomable photo here.

(Nothing like realizing - three months after the fact - that I had used the wrong LFL release zone for that day's books. I re-released the three that hadn't been journaled yet to the correct location.)

Updated guidelines for safely visiting and stocking Little Free Libraries from the LFL site here.
As of March 30th, the CDC said: “We are not concerned at all about paper-based materials like books being a transmission route” - but the situation keeps evolving and it never hurts to be cautious and sanitize your hands and frequently-touched surfaces.

Released for GoryDetails's April Showers/May Flowers Challenge and originalslicey's There's No Place Like Home challenge.

I'm so glad you've found this book! Won't you make a journal entry so the previous readers know that it's safe with you?

How and where did you find the book? What did you think of it? What are you going to do with it next?

This is now your book, for you to do with as you please: keep it as long as you wish, pass it to a friend, or maybe even leave it where someone else can find it!

If you've ever wondered where your books go after they leave your hands, join BookCrossing and you may find out: you'll be able to follow your books as new readers make journal entries - sometimes from surprisingly far-flung locations.
