The Miracle of Life; A Parent and Child Book about Birth

by Stephanie Jeffs

Illustrated by Jane Coulson

Based on Psalm 139

You created every part of me...

When my bones were being formed,

carefully put together in my mother's womb,

when I was growing there in secret,

you knew that I was there - 

you saw me before I was born.

Aboriginal - Walking with the Seasons in Kakadu - Talking Book Set [with CD]

"This is a story that has to be told to children so they know country - no good just sitting in the classroom all day. You've got to get outside and discover the bush, feel the changes, see what's there" From a group Gundjeihmi-speaking people of Murrumburr clan.
Join Diane Lucas and Ken Searle as they walk through the bush of Norther Australia. Follow the seasonal calendar of the Gundjeihmi-speaking people of Kakadu.
This is an educational resource that will still be, being used in years to come and will no doubt be shared amongst many classrooms and schools of Australia. Not only are the illustrations and content in this book superb, but as it also comes with a talking book, and 9 extra pages of Teachers Notesand information. This resource can be used in so many ways and is a must have for all schools in Australia. Printed from paper from sustainable forests
