ABBEY'S BOOKSELLER PICK ----- A story of indigenous connection to Flinders Island, it shows the seasons through natural events and the appearance of different fish, birds and fruiting plants - signs of Country. The people are descendants of mainland Tasmanian clans who were resettled on the island, and have formed deep cultural ties to the land. The illustrations are deceptively simple in style, layered and intricate at times, and at others, naïve and atmospheric; the range of colours is soft and attractive. A fine addition to the growing wealth of indigenous-themed books for young readers. Lindy
