Paperback

A lyrical book which revels in all things swirly and squelchy, and explores northern Australian animals and landscapes as well as indigenous art.

"Splosh for the billabong at the shady bend of the river. Brush for the flowers that burst in the summer heat."

A glorious celebration of country, animals, and painting, illustrated by Balarinji, Australia's leading Indigenous design studio.

Ros Moriarty, the author of the acclaimed memoir Listening to Country, is also the founder of Indi Kindi early literacy education.
