Description
A soothing bedtime story from mum to baby
As the sun shines throughout the day,
it warms your cheeks while we play.
As the sun sets in the evening sky,
say, 'Yaarri Yarraang, goodbye.'
This gentle bedtime story follows the journey a mother and child take across a day and into the Dreamtime - finding special places to visit, creatures to meet and new things to discover.
From Gumbaynggirr artist Melissa Greenwood, the creator of the heart-stirring picture book Miimi Marraal, Mother Earth.
