"This is a unique book. It is the story of Australia as told and illustrated by the Aboriginal children of Australia. It is the element of surprise and joy in what the children see and feel that makes this book unique. Through the natural simplicity of their words and paintings, they convey their enjoyment and enthusiasm for the land which has been theirs for over 40, 000 years... the story of Australia revealed in this book reflects the poetry and imagination of the children who tell it. It speaks in a language that will be understood by children and adults throughout the world"-- Book jacket.
