The land bakes . . . RED.
Ja- ladaladarrinji awara… Red.

The sun sets . . . ORANGE.
Nanda- miyal… Orange.

A children's book about teaching kids about different colours in a very Australian way. When I say in an Australian way, I mean everything is inspired by the Australian landscape and the nature. At the end there is also translation provided in Yanyuwa language. The illustrations are rich in bright colours and the art style is inspired by the Aboriginal art. I loved this.

In single sentences, nature is painted in different colours of the rainbow in this book. Hafsa learnt a new colour : emerald and I learnt a new word : scud.
