Notes:
Giinagay Gaagal, Hello Ocean is a full-colour explosion of movement, rhythm and texture. Kids and adults alike will be mesmerised by the immersive ocean scenes, with landscapes, plants and animals abstracted and yet instantly recognisable as emblems of Australia’s stunning coastline. The accompanying text is just as captivating, with a lilting rhythm and easy flow. The storyline conveys a simple and sweet adventure, imbued with a deep respect for nature and the ocean’s gifts, as well as the family that makes our everyday adventures so special. Gumbaynggirr words dotted throughout this special work, and like Greenwood’s previous books, a full Gumbaynggirr translation of the text is provided at the back of the book. This was completed with input from Muurrbay Aboriginal Language and Culture Co-operative, an organisation at the forefront of language revitalisation in coastal NSW. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander readers are advised that his book may contain images and names of people who have died. Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander content. In English. Gumbaynggirr translation included at the back of the book.
