This dual language picture book tells the story of a family of Spiny-tailed skinks (Egernia stokesii badia), known as Meelyu in the local Badimia language in Western Australia. They are unusual in that they live in family groups in a big castle of logs. Their environment is under threat from habitat degradation, mining and feral cats. This story is a plea for nature conservation and guardianship as well as encouragiing connection to the land and its inhabitants.
