'This beautifully illustrated account of Nura’s life reveals a childhood lived in peace and harmony on country. Nura Nungalka Ward was a Yankunytjatjara woman from the Central Desert, at a time when Central Desert people were leaving their homelands and entering a society they did not know. She spent her early years living at Ernabella, continually running away to join her parents, who were station workers, as she preferred living in the bush.' (Introduction)
