Jayden Boundry is Wadjak Balardong Noongar and Badimaya Yamatji and a Noongar language teacher who has teamed up with Tyrown Waigana, a Wardandi Noongar and Ait Koedhal multidisciplinary artist and graphic designer.
This is a beautifully designed and presented board book which introduces Noongar first words such as kara spider, noorn snake, yongka kangaroo and more. In all children are introduced to 17 land animals. Tyrown has placed each carefully drawn animal in the centre of a crisp white page. While they are simple they are not static and manage to give the impression of movement.
There is a Noongar pronunciation guide available online prepared by Jayden Boundry. An important and enjoyable little book that will start all children off early appreciating and gaining a connection with indigenous culture.
