📖 It’s World Book Day! We love sharing books and using storytime to develop speech and language skills.

Aunty Patsy generously worked with us to develop these questions, and we are so grateful to have been able to draw on her wisdom and insights regarding the language, content, and illustrations in Sea Country.

This is a beautiful book about the indigenous culture of Flinders Island, and growing up as a Tasmanian Aboriginal with a deep respect for the surrounding environment.

These oral language and literature toolkits are all carefully c...
