"Sounds All Around Us All Around Us" By Ryhia Dank
Sounds All Around Us is a beautiful introduction to sensory learning through the vibrant lens of Aboriginal art and culture. Created by Gudanji/Wakaja artist Ryhia Dank, this board book invites children to explore the rich soundscape of Australia—rustling leaves, chirping birds, crunching footsteps—all portrayed through powerful storytelling and intricate, symbolic illustrations.
Part of the All Around Us series, the book pairs simple narrative with visual storytelling to introduce young readers to the wonders of sound, encouraging mindfulness and a deep connection with the world around them. Dank’s signature style—known as “Nardurna,” meaning “woman”—is deeply rooted in her ancestral stories and connection to land and water.
This is an ideal book for babies and toddlers, offering sensory engagement and cultural education in equal measure. It's a wonderful resource for early childhood classrooms and home libraries alike.
