Written in a picture book style format this fabulous book of fourteen songs, include ten written in the Wolmajarri language, and four in the English language, all beautifully illustrated by the kids from the Yakanarra Community School. Kids will find songs about how the Wolmajarri come to Yakanarra, their special places, the animals and birds and the sounds that they make, songs of hunting, fishing, and collecting bush food, and more. The songs, sung to the tunes of well known classics, were written to help the kids at Yakanarra speak Wolmajarri, but this is a book to be treasured and enjoyed by everyone interested in Indigenous Aboriginal languages.
