Description

Bartja and Mayila Kit

Written by Sue Atkinson (Yorta Yorta) and illustrated by Annette Sax (Taungurung), Bartja and Mayila is the first book in the Yarn Strong Sista series. When Mayila plans to leave the forest for the ocean, Bartja seeks the perfect parting gift, guided by Uncle Ambrose and the wisdom of the forest animals. This gentle story offers young children an insight into Indigenous Victorian culture, relationships, and connection to Country.

• BAM100: Bartja and Mayila (Book)
