This visually striking dual-language book gives a wonderful explanation of First Nations Country and Ancestors through a conversation between a mother and her child. The thoughtful text is well-spaced with the Noongar language followed by the English translation. The text is written in the first person and enriched by vivid and detailed acrylic illustrations of a playful Willy Wagtail chick and its mother, as they move about the bush that they share with other native animals against stunning backdrops of local flora.
The story gently progresses with the mother’s reassurances accompanied by the exquisite illustrations depicting small families of animals, echoing and subtly reinforcing the theme of the role of family in passing down language and culture from generation to generation
