"The Mark of Wagarl" By Lorna Little, Janice Lyndon (Illustrator)
$22.00 AUD
The Mark of the Wagarl is a culturally rich picture book that tells the story of Maadjit Walken, the Sacred Rainbow Serpent and creator of Noongar Country in south-west Western Australia. She formed the landscape and waterways and made her first child, Maadjit Wagarl, the Sacred Water Snake, guardian of all rivers and fresh waters.
The narrative follows a young boy who dares to question the wisdom of his Elders and learns a profound lesson about respect and responsibility when he receives the Sacred Water Snake as his totem. Janice Lyndon's pastel illustrations resonate with the cultural power of the Maadjit Wagarl and the landscape of the south-west.
