"The Snake and the Boy" By Azmen Sebastian
The Snake and the Boy is a charming and slightly cheeky story set in the playground of a remote Kimberley school. As the children play happily under the wide blue sky, one boy climbs the playground bars with his lunch in hand—only to be surprised when a sneaky green tree snake slithers by and steals his apple!
This playful narrative, told through vivid illustrations and a warm, observational tone, captures the energy of childhood and the unexpected encounters with nature that are part of life in the Australian bush. The illustrations, painted in acrylic by the author himself, reflect the expansive, sunlit atmosphere of the Kimberley and the surprising beauty of its wild creatures.
The book is perfect for early childhood readers and brings to life a uniquely Australian experience of schoolyard fun blended with the natural world.
