Emus under the Bed

Beautifully illustrated, this is a lively and unique story about a little girl and the fun she has at her Auntie Dollo's house.

On Saturdays I visit Auntie Dollo.

'What would you like to do today?' she says. 'Do you want to help me make some feather flowers?'

A vibrant story about connecting with culture and family.
