Description
This bright, beautiful and fun board book is perfect for the youngest readers to learn the names of various parts of the body. My Body features line drawings and gorgeous photographs, each with arrows pointing to the part of the body being referred to in the text. Young readers will delight in saying the name and pointing to the relevant part of the body in the book and on their own body. The book was created at an ILF workshop at Bidyadanga (La Grange) facilitated by ILF ambassador Alison Lester and Jane Godwin. Bidyadanga Aboriginal Community is located on the Kimberley coast in Western Australia, 1,590 kilometres north of Perth and 180 kilometres south of Broome. Bidyadanga is the largest remote Aboriginal community in Western Australia, with a population of approximately 750 residents.
