AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Numbat has two hearts, one of stone and one of feather. His stone heart makes him strong and powerful while his feather heart makes him soft and gentle. When having more than one heart becomes troublesome, Numbat must choose which one to keep...' In the tradition of Aboriginal teaching stories, this picture book comes from the author of Crow and the Waterhole.' (Source: Fremantle Press website)

Works about this Work

Listening to the Stories Woven Around Us Brooke Collins-Gearing , 2019 single work essay
— Appears in: Westerly , vol. 64 no. 1 2019; (p. 24-33) 'I grew up in Kamilaroi country, the land of the goanna. I grew up bathing in and being sustained by the river system and artesian tracks. I grew up knowing of my Murri heritage, of the old people living in tin huts on the banks of the Mehi, but not of the deep knowledge embedded in land all around; for me, it took many years of different kinds of reading and listening to learn how to pay attention to this knowledge.'
