"Wombat, Mudlark and Other Stories" By Helen Milroy
From a falling star to a lonely whale, an entertaining lizard to an enterprising penguin, Wombat, Mudlark and Other Stories offers young readers a collection of enchanting Indigenous stories full of wonder, adventure, and wisdom. Told in the style of traditional Aboriginal teaching tales, these short animal fables take children on powerful journeys of self-discovery, cultural connection, and environmental respect.
Each story is woven with insight and purpose, inviting reflection on important values like resilience, friendship, problem-solving, and belonging. The beautifully illustrated tales spark curiosity and gently guide children to think more deeply about the world around them, and their place within it.
This book is an engaging classroom resource for middle primary levels and a perfect read-aloud for families wanting to explore First Nations storytelling and worldview.
