When an ordinary trail walk turns into an unforgettable encounter, Mimi and her children come face to face with an unexpected escapee-an emu on the run. What unfolds is a whimsical and heartwarming adventure that reveals powerful truths about courage, creativity, and the unshakable spirit of freedom within us all. Based on real events and reimagined with fantastical flair, Emu on the Loose is more than a children's story-it's a cross-generational celebration of possibility and empowerment. With charming prose and bold illustrations, this debut in the Mimi Adventure Series reminds us that greatness can be found in everyday moments-and that even the most surprising events can lead us back to our own inner strength.
