A vibrant picture book featuring Australian animals that explores the concept of perception. Koala has a question for her friends - what colour is the sea? But they all give her different answers, and Koala doesn't know who to believe. Owl suggests she finds out for herself. Koala sets off for the sea, only to discover that all of her friends are right - the sea is no colour and many colours. A beautiful tale of discovery and perception.
