'Tilly the Tardigrade' is a nature fiction book for 4-9 year olds. Tilly the Tardigrade has been created to help young readers understand the importance of Australian wetlands and the biodiversity that they support. The story follows the journey of a Tardigrade as she discovers that her wetland home is drying out. She speaks to the other animals in the wetland to find out how they cope with the dry times. Through this journey, Tilly finds out that different plants and animals have special and different adaptations to dry times. From the frog that can burrow to the dragonfly who flies away, this story educates young readers on the ecological principles of adaptations of wetland animals to environmental change, through an easy, fun narrative. The story follows the cycle of lagoon drying out, as most Australian wetlands do periodically, and tracks the different changes in the wetland. Tilly the tardigrade falls into a deep sleep as the wetland dries and wakes up to discover her tardigrade superpower is forming a tun in dry times. As the lagoon refills, young readers complete the wetland lifecycle with Tilly and learn about the importance of water in the environment.
