"Old Nana Quokka: Caring For Country" By Rhonda & Ferro and Jacki Collard-Spratt
Old Nana Quokka: Caring For Country is the third book in the Spirit of the Dreaming series, created by Yamatji-Noongar Elder Aunty Rhonda Collard-Spratt and co-author Jacki Ferro. Set on Wadjemup (Rottnest Island), a sacred Aboriginal place, the story follows Old Nana Quokka and a lively cast of animals who take a stand against the harm being caused by tourism.
Told with humour and wisdom—including farting quokkas, protesting snakes, and dive-bombing seabirds—this book teaches children about respect for sacred sites, the importance of listening to Elders, and caring for Country.
It blends Aboriginal spirituality with environmental education in a way that is engaging, educational, and culturally rich—a must-have for classrooms and families committed to First Nations learning.
