Earthspeak

A joyful story celebrating the natural world, the sharing of culture through Noongar language and the awe that comes from seeing, hearing and feeling how elemental forces shape the earth.

Papa says we're going to a special place today.

'If we djinang (look), ni (listen), goordoo (feel), we might hear boodjar wangkiny (earth speak). We might even feel her heartbeat.'

I wonder what that will sound like? Will the earth's heart beat just like ours?

A bush walk in a stunning landscape becomes a heartfelt invitation for children to engage with their senses, care for the environment, and learn some Noongar language words along the way.

About the Author

Sean McCann is from Gadigal Country, NSW, but grew up on Dharawal land in southwest Sydney. In the early 1900s, his grandmother was placed into a mission on Gadigal land. Where she was taken from, and information about her parents, remains unknown. Sean currently lives on Noongar land in Perth with his wife and two young daughters. He is a small business owner, a rope access technician and a rigger working in remote areas of WA. Earthspeak is his first book.

Jade Goodwin is an illustrator and Gamilaroi woman. Her creative journey began at an early age in her grandparents' screen-printing studio, where she would craft anything she could from the studio supplies. Her passion for creativity and illustration grew over time, eventually leading to a successful career in the children's publishing industry. She is committed to showcasing a range of perspectives through her illustrations, with the aim of inspiring children and adults alike. She has illustrated numerous books including Ash Barty's Little Ash series and My Dream for You. www.jadegoodwin.com.au
