Written by award-winning and bestselling author Helen Milroy, this is a richly woven story about courage and adventure.

Calla is born with a precious gift — she can talk to the dingoes. It is her special job to learn their ways and to look after them. But when new people come to her land, Calla and her family are forced to move away from her beloved dingoes.

Meanwhile, one of Calla's favourite dingoes, a cheeky little pup named Chichi, escapes from danger through a special cave. When he emerges in a different time and place and is befriended by a young girl named Sunny, she takes him to meet her grandmother, and they discover that they already know each other — Sunny's grandmother is Calla!

Together they work to get the dingoes safely back to country.

Sunny and Shadow is a tale of connection and the timeless bond between humans and nature, highlighting the importance of understanding and caring for all creatures.
