"Kakadu Calling: Stories for Kids" By Jane Garlil Christophersen
"Kakadu Calling: Stories for Kids" is a charming and heartfelt collection of short stories by Jane Garlil Christophersen, a Bunitj Elder from the Northern Territory. Written especially for young readers, the book offers glimpses into life in Kakadu — from bush walks to animal adventures — and gently weaves in messages about culture, identity, independence, and caring for the environment.
Stories like Dinky the Dingo and Finding My Way Home are filled with warmth, humour, and valuable lessons. Each tale reflects the author’s deep knowledge of Country and her wish to pass that wisdom on to younger generations.
Perfect for emerging readers aged 10–11, this accessible and engaging collection provides a rich cultural lens into First Nations life in remote Australia. It's ideal for classroom reading and family story time alike.
