"The lost girl" By Ambelin Kwaymullina, Leanne Tobin (Illustrator)

The girl had lost her way. She had wandered away from the Mothers, the Aunties and the Grandmothers, from the Fathers and the Uncles and the Grandfathers. Who will show her the way home?

The Lost Girl is a powerful and tender story about a young girl who becomes separated from her community. As she journeys through the landscape, it is Mother Nature who gently leads her back to safety, showing the strength, wisdom, and comfort found in Country.

Written by Ambelin Kwaymullina and illustrated by Leanne Tobin, The Lost Girl is a celebration of culture, resilience, and the guiding power of nature. The book beautifully captures the cultural understanding that Country is family, teacher, and protector. Leanne Tobin’s rich, earthy illustrations bring the journey to life with authenticity and warmth.

Perfect for classrooms and families, this story fosters conversations around caring for Country, listening to Elders, and honouring our place in the world.
