The world opens wide for a teeny papaya seed when a brush with near-death sees it scattered from the fruit tree that’s all it has ever known.

Refusing to put down roots, the rebellious nipper is instead transfixed by the birds, bees and other bugs that take flight. Determined to soar, she’ll face everything from inclement weather to mycelial mushrooms and a thoroughly cranky scorpion as she sets out on an unforgettable journey.

Kellen’s cute and colourful characters will captivate the kids while grown-ups will glide along on a journey that flies free from dialogue. Tap your toes to a jolly woodwind as the Berlinale lauded Papaya whisks your family from Adelaide to the teeming Amazon, teaching kids to care for their planet and one another.
