Four wonderful traditional teaching stories of the Wongutha people are collected together here for the first time in The Bawoo Stories: How Crows Became Black, Why The Emu Can't Fly. Originally published as individual titles in 1992, these stories were considered groundbreaking publications, presenting traditional Indigenous stories in a bilingual text. Sales of the individual titles have now exceeded 26,000...

Wongutha Tales is inspired by May O'Brien's passion for helping children understand the past through the magic of storytelling. Wongutha Tales represents stories of May's childhood - from traditional teaching stories to life at a mission.
