Description

Debbie and Billy just love the summer holidays, especially when their grandfather comes to stay. They have lots of fun racing tyres and telling stories together. But best of all Debbie likes the special times she has with Dada Kean and the wonderful places he shows her. Waarda, Nyungar for talking and sharing stories and information, is an exciting children's series by Indigenous authors. Initiated by renowned Aboriginal artist and writer Sally Morgan, the series is designed to support the literacy needs of Indigenous children in primary school, by making available to them stories written by Indigenous authors. At the same time, it introduces non-Indigenous children to the richness and depth of Aboriginal storytelling. Above all, it is a collection of fun, interesting and diverse first chapter books for new readers.

Reviews

"As stories for beginning readers, the Waarda series is beautifully produced by indigenous writers to whom sense of place and family home is very significant." --Canberra Times
