Fitzroy Crossing women are teaching their languages through bright and bold picture books
As part of an ongoing partnership with Indigenous Literacy Foundation, MWRC is proud to share publication of the latest round of books: Mayarda (Pelicans), Manyi Nganyjaali (Bush tomatoes), Kurrartuwarnti (Brolgas) and Jirntipirriny jaa Lamparn Parri (Willy Wagtail and the Little Boy).
The books aim to share, teach and preserve language and to show a snapshot of life in the remote community. The literacy and language is a program delivered by MWRC's Baya Gawiy Buga yani Jandu yani u Centre, a service which includes the Early Childhood Learning Unit and Children and Parent Centre.
The women created the books during a workshop with ILF Lifetime Ambassador Alison Lester, children's book author Jane Godwin and designer Lee Burgemeestre.
