"Bila's Big Dance" By Rebbeca Chapman
Bila’s Big Dance is an uplifting and heartfelt story set during a time of drought in the Yaba River region. As the landscape dries and waterbirds grow weary, Bila the Spoonbill takes charge with a hopeful solution: a rain dance.
Driven by a sense of community and a deep connection to Country, Bila gathers the waterbird mob and leads them in a joyful and determined dance in hopes of inviting the rain to fall once more.
This beautifully written story by Kamilaroi author Rebbeca Chapman offers messages of leadership, empathy, and resilience, told through the lens of First Nations ecological knowledge and cultural practice. A wonderful addition to early childhood and primary classrooms, the book introduces readers to environmental responsibility through culturally rooted storytelling.
