An artistically stunning story of Kylie Gatjawarrawuy Mununggurr's life growing up on her grandmothers Country in Raymangirr, a remote Yolu homeland in North East Arnhem Land in the Top End of Australia. Told in both Djambarrpuyŋu and English, Raymaŋgirrbuy dhäwu, When I was a little girl is a sweet story of the author's experiences with her grandmother and her community. From learning to grind ochre and paint, to hunting for bush honey (guku), ceremonial dances, and full-moon night fishing with a big shark, each vignette of Kylie's life is filled with humour and nostalgia for her peaceful childhood. Developed with the support of Gapuwiyak Culture and Arts centre and Kylie's mother and grandmother, young readers will experience life in Raymagirr country and gain important insights into cultural practices.
