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.
