BIRRARUNG WILAM: A STORY FROM ABORIGINAL AUSTRALIA

Set beside Melbourne’s Yarra River, this book celebrates Indigenous culture and the river’s plant and animal life. Its text appears in English and Woiwurrung, an Aboriginal language, with a glossary for the two languages. As ngua rises, Bunjil flies over mountain ash while the wind becomes warmer. The book presents the river landscape as a place where all living things are connected.
