Ryan A. ★★★★★

My kids were captivated by the eight dreamtime stories, and I loved learning about the Kukatja people's history. The cultural depth of each tale really brings the Kimberley region to life.

Samuel U. ★★★★★

The way these eight stories connect to the Kukatja people's history in the Kimberley Region gives the book real depth, not just folklore. I found myself re-reading the cultural explanations after each tale.

Richard ★★★★★

The artwork in each dreamtime story is so beautiful, it really brings the Kukatja people's history to life. I found myself lingering over the illustrations as much as the tales themselves.
