Little Sam is visiting his nanna. He loves the experience
except that her house is surrounded by the (Australian) bush – he gets
scratched by spiky shrubs and bitten by mosquitoes. Nanna believes that one day
he will love the bush.
Sam isn’t so sure until he has a dream where he’s lost. He
finds shelter, food and water in the bush and begins to appreciate the role of
the bush in the circle of life.
This eye-opener features colorful Aboriginal art and
celebrates the beauty and self-sufficiency of nature.
Excerpt
But Sam didn’t know where to find the waterhole.
Then he heard the birds singing. His nanna had told him that
birds gather by the water, so he followed the sound.
