Weaving Country is a stunning picture book celebrating the importance of working together and sharing lessons from the land, featuring the beautiful First Nations language.

‘Around and around they go,’ says Walert, watching Gugung’s hands as they turn the wheel of woven reeds, growing slowly and surely, bigger and bigger.

Walert's grandmother, Gugung, is collecting reeds (djirra) to weave a basket (binak), and finally, Walert is big enough to take part and learn this important cultural practice. However, when a pair of blue wrens disrupt their work, Walert realises that the birds have their own lessons to impart.

This book features the Wurundjeri language and includes a glossary, offering readers a meaningful resource for learning from Country.
