The Sunshine Coast’s cheekiest and most loveable little koala, Karla, is making big waves with over 10,000 books now sold.
Born right here in Noosa, Karla the Koala has captured hearts across Australia and around the world.
What started as a passion project between lifelong friends, author Fizzi Reynolds and artist friend Lili, has blossomed into an international hit that’s even caught the attention of world-renowned environmentalist Sir David Attenborough and King Charles III.
Each beautifully illustrated story celebrates the stunning natural environment and supports a powerful cause of saving Australia’s endangered koalas.
So far, more than $7000 has been donated to local wildlife and environmental charities, plus hundreds more to community causes.
And Karla’s adventures don’t stop there. The creative duo has launched a new chapter, crafting customised storybooks for businesses and organisations wanting their own tailor-made tales.
Their first bespoke collaboration, It’s a Ripper to be a Nipper, created for the Noosa Heads Surf Lifesaving Club, was such a hit that Karla became the Club’s official mascot.
Karla the Koala book sales also help to support Noosa District Landcare and Tourism Noosa’s Trees for Tourism program, helping plant more koala food trees and protect local habitats.
The Karla the Koala books are now available as a beautiful three-book gift pack, perfect for kids, visitors, and anyone who loves precious wildlife.
