AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Follow the fun rhyming text as it takes you on a journey to meet Australia’s amazing wildlife, featuring bouncy kangaroos, noisy cockatoos, speedy emus and many more, all brought to life through stunning artwork by Darug artist-educator Leanne Mulgo Watson in this Indigenous Discovery series.

'Leanne Watson is a Darug woman commonly known in the Aboriginal Community as Mulgo, meaning Black Swan. She started painting at a young age, taught by her mother Aunty Edna Watson and her brother Bundeluk Watson, and is now an accomplished artist.

'The titles in the Indigenous Discovery Big Book series have been developed to help students build confidence with early learning concepts, such as shapes, colours, numbers and animals, while simultaneously increasing their awareness of and exposure to Indigenous artwork from an early age. The engaging rhyming text supports early language skills, such as vocabulary building, and the interactive relationship between the text and the gorgeous full-colour illustrations promotes key visual literacy skills. The big book format makes these titles perfect for an enriching shared reading experience that students will cherish.'  (Publication summary)
