Picture book
My Country tells a delightful story of a little girl free to roam on land, sea and in the sky. She is transported to all sorts of magical places, dances in the clouds and down a rainbow, and encounters the morning star, the red desert and the whispering wind. As we travel with her, the bush animals come out to greet her until she settles down to ‘sleep among the ghost gums’. My Country celebrates a child’s world in simple, lyrical prose, and is beautifully illustrated and designed for younger children.
