🎨 How to color it

Color the koalas soft gray with pink inner ears, the eucalyptus leaves blue-green, the bell-shaped gum blossoms coral, and the little bird kingfisher blue. Use sharp colored pencils for the swirls on the trunk, the mother koala’s patterned belly, and the small state lines inside the Australia map. Try a warm yellow sun fading into pale peach around the branches so the cool gray koalas feel extra cozy.

The story behind this coloring page

Darby’s Quiet Sun Game — Under the warm gum-scented leaves, Darby pressed one paw into a patch of sunlight and whispered, “Mine, then yours.” He had just invented Sun-Spot Swap: find a bright place, tap it twice, then leave a leaf there for the next sleepy climber. Read the full story →

Under the warm gum-scented leaves, Darby pressed one paw into a patch of sunlight and whispered, “Mine, then yours.” He had just invented Sun-Spot Swap: find a bright place, tap it twice, then leave a leaf there for the next sleepy climber. His favorite spot waited near the family fork, round and golden as a biscuit.

But the sun slid higher, and the spot moved beyond the safe middle branches. Darby climbed after it, past sticky blossoms buzzing with tiny flies, past a blue bird clicking its beak, all the way to the crooked branch above the scratched map of Australia. The bark rubbed his elbow, and he dropped his last tender leaf. Below, a tired ringtail possum nosed the trunk, searching for shade.

Darby almost called for help. Instead, he tucked the leaf into the sunniest notch and patted it twice. “Yours,” he said softly. When he came back, his own bright spot was gone, but the family fork felt wider, with room for his quiet secret. Next time you find the little map below the branches, see if you can guess where Darby left the sun-spot warm and golden as a biscuit.
