This book is an important contribution to children's literacy. It really is a work of beauty. The author has taken the dreamtime story of creation from the Australian Aboriginal/ First Nation Culture. The book is in two parts: Part A is a beautifully written and illustrated story that will enchant children and adults alike. It shows that there is a human need to understand the world in which we live. In ancient times, people used their knowledge of the day to make sense of their world. Part B is a set of learning activities based on the theme of the book. The art work is absolutely beautiful and will stimulate the children to engage in developing their own literacy skills.
Children need help and guidance in non-fiction writing and that is something that many primary/prep/P1-6 colleagues find difficult and challenging. That is why this book is so important.
