This charming children's book gives a glimpse into the life of young children growing up in the Australian Outback. It is beautifully illustrated by Katie Jones. The short poem that narrates the story and Katie Jones' illustrations would be especially enjoyed by kids from about three to ten years old. It's a wonderful gift for grandchildren.
