1 9 y separately published work icon When I Was Little, Like You Mary N. Malbunka , East Melbourne : Allen and Unwin , 2003 Z994085 2003 single work autobiography picture book children's

'As Mary Malbunka shares her stories of playing with friends, building cubby houses, climbing trees, collecting sugarbag, digging for honey ants, hunting for lizards, and learning about the seasons, animals and plants, she creates a vivid picture of a truly Australian childhood in which country - ngurra is life itself.

Warm and accessible, this is essentially an oral story, and it contains a number of words in Luritja whose meaning is explained in context and also within an extensive glossary. The book also interprets recurring symbols used in traditional Aboriginal painting.' Publishers blurb: http://www.allenandunwin.com (Sighted jad 11.01.10)
