Kendrick the Koala
Kendrick fills his scarf-pocket notebook with beetles, clouds and tiny things others hurry past. When his drawing looks small beside everyone else's, he worries they will think he draws like a baby. Siegfried saves him a cushion at the picture party—even if he brings a blank page. There is room for Kendrick before his picture is finished.
