From bestselling children's authors Corey Tutt and Irma Gold comes a heartwarming story about an echidna, Corey's totem animal, and the importance of home.
Bigibila was born on a night when Gawarrgay, the dark emu, was high in the sky.
The air tasted of native lime and was full of the sound of animal songs.
This is my Country, Bigibila thought. My place.
But when Bigibila finds herself far from her Country – how will she ever find her way back?
With Gamilaraay words seamlessly woven into the text, Australian parents will love reading Bigibila's story to their children, which explores our connection to family and place.
