Weaving Country | Author: Aunty Kim Wandin

A stunning picture book celebrating working together, sharing important lessons from Country, and featuring First Nations language.

‘Around and around they go,’ says Walert looking at Gugung’s hands turning the wheel of woven reeds, growing slowly and surely, bigger and bigger.

Walert's grandmother, Gugung, is collecting reeds (djirra) to weave a basket (binak) and finally, Walert is big enough to take part and learn this important cultural practice. But when a pair of blue wrens interrupt them, Walert realises that the birds have something to teach her, too. Featuring Wurundjeri language and glossary, this is a stunning book about learning from Country .
