The Yowie That Nobody Wanted tells the story of a lonely Yowie searching for friendship and acceptance. Written by Heidi Lee and illustrated with warmth and character by Tristan Parry, this 1980 Lansdowne Press edition is part of the beloved Yowie picture book series that introduced young readers to creatures of Australian folklore.

With vibrant illustrations and a heartfelt narrative, this book is both an imaginative story and a gentle exploration of self-worth, belonging, and kindness — all through the lens of a uniquely Australian mythical figure.

Ideal for collectors of vintage Australian children’s literature or those who fondly remember the Yowie series from their own childhoods. A charming blend of folklore and moral storytelling, perfect for display or bedtime reading.
