LIEF Stories
"Heartfelt tales from our woolly friends."
Ollie the Koala
Curious, gentle, and always ready for a cuddle.
Far away in a sun-dappled eucalyptus forest, Ollie the Koala wakes up slowly — just like you. He stretches, yawns, and looks for his favourite leaf. Ollie loves discovering new things, whether it’s a fluttering butterfly or the crunch of twigs beneath his paws. Sometimes he’s shy, but he always finds the courage to try something new — especially when he’s with a friend.
Ollie helps children feel calm, brave, and curious — a gentle friend through quiet times and new beginnings.
Leo the Penguin
Brave, steady, and ready for any adventure.
On a snowy cliff by the icy sea, Leo the Penguin stands tall. He’s the bravest in his family — even when his tummy flutters. Whether he’s sliding down snowy hills or standing still in a big wind, Leo teaches us that courage can be quiet. He always remembers to wait for others and hold their flipper when they’re scared. That’s what real bravery looks like.
Leo reminds children that being strong means standing by your friends, even when you’re scared too.
Archie the Kangaroo
Playful, energetic, and full of big leaps.
Archie the Kangaroo is always on the move. From morning hops to sunset skips, he loves exploring the open fields and bouncing high with joy. He might trip or tumble — but he laughs and tries again. His best days are spent with friends, sharing snacks and silly stories in the sunshine. Archie’s energy is contagious, and he’s always the first to say, “Come on! Let’s go!”
Archie teaches kids that energy and joy go hand in hand with kindness, patience, and fun.
Hudson the Wombat
Grounded, thoughtful, and always ready to listen.
Hudson the Wombat loves to dig and think. He makes cozy tunnels and always knows where he’s going. Even when the world feels fast, Hudson moves slowly and listens carefully. He helps friends feel seen and safe. If you’re feeling sad, Hudson’s the one who’ll sit beside you, hand in paw, and wait quietly until you’re ready to smile again.
Hudson helps children feel grounded and secure — the kind of friend who’s always by your side.
Henry the Platypus
Quiet, clever, and full of surprises.
Henry the Platypus lives between the riverbank and dreams. He’s not quite this or that — and that’s what makes him special. With his duck bill, beaver tail, and curious eyes, Henry doesn’t mind being different. He builds, swims, and invents little games. At night, he hums lullabies to the stars. Henry reminds us that being unique is a kind of magic.
Henry encourages children to embrace their differences — because being yourself is the greatest adventure.
Charlotte the Koala
Kind-hearted, creative, and full of quiet wisdom.
High up in a scribbly gum tree, Charlotte the Koala paints with leaves and sings with the wind. She’s soft and thoughtful, with a heart full of ideas. When her friends need help, Charlotte always finds the right words — or gives the best cuddles. Her days are slow and sweet, filled with gentle wonder and stories whispered to the moon.
Charlotte helps children nurture kindness, creativity, and the joy of seeing beauty in small things.
