Kiki the koala loves to go for strolls and walks, but her mama warns that she might get lost if she goes too far. Against her mama's warning, Kiki explores much too far and gets lost. She's scared and alone, but is determined to get back home. On her journey back, Kiki learns the valuable lesson of listening closely to what mama says because all she wants is to care for her.
When Kiki gets lost, she meets new friends like Roger Roo the kangaroo and Tim the Turtle. Each animal brings Kiki closer to the direction of the forest and helps her squash her inner worry bug, feel less scared, find her inner strength, and believe that it will be okay. When Kiki reunites with mama, she doesn't let her go and realizes that she's grown so much through her travels.

After all, mama is only showing their love and care for their children. No matter what exciting new places Kiki explores, she realizes that she is homesick and alone without her mama by her side.
