'Sunny and Shadow' By Helen Milroy

Calla is born with a precious gift – she can talk to the dingoes. It is her special job to learn their ways and to look after them. But when new people come to her land, Calla and her family are
forced to move away from her beloved dingoes.

Meanwhile, one of Calla’s favourite dingoes, a cheeky little pup named Chichi, escapes from danger through a special cave. When he emerges in a different time and place and is befriended by a young girl named Sunny, she takes him to meet her grandmother, and discover that they already know each other – Sunny’s grandmother is Calla! Together they work to get the dingoes safely back to country.
