Rainbow Bird by Eric Maddern
A bright, vibrant picture book retelling of a traditional Aboriginal fire myth from Northern Australia. "I'm boss for Fire," growls rough, tough Crocodile Man, and he keeps the rest of the world cold and dark - until one day clever Bird Woman sees her opportunity and seizes it…
This cover positively zings with vibrant citrus colours, and the illustrations inside the book are even zingier.. A dramatic, beautiful book with a satisfyingly right ending.
