(3) K-3 Illustrated by Bronwyn Bancroft. Dealing with the explanation of day and night, the characteristics of Australian animals, and the beginnings of human life, this story is illustrated with vibrant paintings by an artist with Aboriginal roots. Wolkstein, as usual, is careful to give the provenance of the story in full detail, thus telling the reader that the story may have European themes as well as Aboriginal origins.
