One day, Simone's dad rescues a tiny baby wombat. Her dad and mum know how much work's involved, but Simone is confident she can rear the little creature herself. Simone is as good as her word and, as Wilhelmina grows and grows, the two become inseparable. Adventures follow involving the family cat, Wilhelmina mistaking Dad for Simone, with surprises all round, and flying in Dad's aeroplane. The time comes, though, when a tough decision has to be made - one that will change Wilhelmina's life and Simone's world. With the theme of caring and sharing, the story of Simone and Wilhelmina will bring tears of laughter, sadness, and ultimately joy.
