When Poddy was born in the middle of a three-year drought, he found that he was alone with only a glorious red sunrise, a dead tree and ten other lonely, orphaned lambs. How can he survive? Who will feed him? Who will teach him to walk on his wobbly legs? Who will keep him warm? And who will nuzzle and love him?
 
Poddy's Jumper is a world-wide celebration of the love and care of animals, and of kindness and sympathy for drought affected Australian farmers.
