About this listen

Joombie Chuckie Stands Up is the first book in the Joombie Chuckie Series, introducing young listeners to the magical world of moko jumbies.

Meet Joombie Chuckie, a 7-year-old boy with a big dream—to become a moko jumbie, a stilt-walker who stands tall with pride and courage. Step by step, Chuckie learns how to put on his stilts, wear his colorful costume, slip on his gloves, and finally place his mask on his face.

At first, it’s not easy—balancing on tall wooden stilts takes practice! But with determination, Chuckie discovers he can stand tall not just in his home, but everywhere he goes—by the fence, at the park, at school, even in the rain, snow, and wind.

Through repetition, rhythm, and vibrant illustrations, this uplifting story teaches children about confidence, perseverance, and cultural pride. By the end, Joombie Chuckie shows that no matter where you are, standing tall means believing in yourself

Joombie Chuckie Stands Up is the inspiring story of a 7-year-old boy learning to walk tall as a moko jumbie. With colorful costumes, tall wooden stilts, and the courage to keep trying, Chuckie shows children everywhere the power of confidence and standing proud.
