Animals On Country
Description
This engaging picture book from award-winning brother-and-sister team Victor and Sandra Steffensen inspires children and adults alike to look after animals through Indigenous cultural practices.
But today, the animals are wondering what has happened to the people. Trees have been cut down, land has been cleared and rivers have been polluted.
Join Uncle Kuu as he takes children out on Country to learn about the First Peoples' traditions of caring for animals, and in turn, caring for Country.
By First Nations people and non-Indigenous Australians coming together, we can all be part of the animal world and help to look after the animals.
From the bestselling author of Fire Country comes this endearing picture book for children aged 5–10 years that celebrates the value of Indigenous knowledge in modern Australia.
