Pearl (now six) chose this picture book, co-written in English and Anindilyakwa (an Aboriginal Aboriginal language spoken in Groote Eylandt). For the first time ever, she expressed an interest in the Aboriginal language.
Luckily, it comes with a complimentary reading in Anindilyakwa. However, to find this out, you have to read the fine print at the end of the book, then find that the link given is broken, and google Allen and Unwin to find a different link. They don't exactly make it easy.
The illustrations are done by Alfred Lalara and his wife Alice Dorilla, also from Groote Eylandt. This is their first book, as part of the Emerging Indigenous Picture Book Mentoring Project.
