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.

Pat Sumner is a teacher, mother and writer. She uses her experience with children to create exceptional learning activities. In fact the activities in this book are so good and so well-thought through that it is almost impossible for children not to learn. Pat Sumner lives near Chester with her family and enjoys baking for the family and walking in the Welsh hills with her husband and dogs.
