From the heart of the Kimberley, in far north-west Australia, comes this special collection of original songs in Bunuba, Gooniyandi, Walmajarri, Kimberley Kriol, and English. Created for young children - but engaging for all ages - these songs, stories, and illustrations reflect the rhythms of daily life in this unique and beautiful part of the world.

The songs were written by early childhood educators, Elders, language educators, musicians, and school students from Fitzroy Crossing, Western Australia, and nearby communities. Many were developed through songwriting action research at Baya Gawiy Buga yani Jandu yani u, an early childhood education and care centre run by Marninwarntikura Women's Resource Centre.

You can also listen to the songs on the free companion album produced by Tura.

Happy singing!
