Honoring a Conservation Legacy: Children’s Book Carries Late Author’s Passion for Wildlife to a New Generation
As wildlife around the world faces mounting threats from climate change, habitat loss and overexploitation, the late author and activist Claudia Clark leaves behind a powerful call to action for young readers. Through her heartfelt children’s book, Hannah’s Call to Care: How One Girl Discovered the Power of Protecting Wildlife, Clark inspires the next generation to see themselves as protectors of the natural world.
Clark, who passed away in December 2025, wrote the book as both a tribute to Australia’s remarkable wildlife and a guide for children eager to help. In the story, 12-year-old Hannah’s quiet life in rural New South Wales changes forever when her father brings home an orphaned kangaroo joey, setting her on a journey into the realities of wildlife rescue and rehabilitation.
With the help of a seasoned wildlife rescuer, Hannah is introduced to the real work of caring for injured and orphaned animals: checking wombat pouches, freeing a flying fox caught in barbed wire, learning the truth behind a “cute” koala in a store, building a possum box and more. Along the way, she also discovers one of the hardest lessons in rescue work: the courage required to let go.
Based on real-life experiences shared by Australian wildlife rescuers, Hannah’s Call to Care is both educational and deeply moving. Written primarily for children ages 10 to 14, the book teaches that wildlife protection is not reserved for adults or experts. Small acts of awareness and kindness can ripple outward, creating lasting change. The book also features a state-by-state guide on how to report and assist injured or orphaned animals across Australia.
“This book offers an inspirational nudge to young readers,” Clark said. “Kids have so much compassion. They just need to know how to use it.”
Perfect for classrooms, libraries and family reading time, Hannah’s Call to Care continues Claudia Clark’s mission to empower young people to take thoughtful action for the animals who share our world. A portion of the book’s proceeds will be donated to wildlife conservation efforts in Australia, extending the author’s lifelong commitment to protecting these remarkable creatures.
