'Guulaangga the Green Tree Frog' is a simple tale about connecting with nature. The author was inspired to create this story based on her experiences growing up on a farm. The story focusses on the behaviour of green tree frogs and invites children to understand bush creatures better. It features Guulaangga the frog, who lives in a family’s backyard. Grandma and two children spot the Green Tree Frog and worry about its safety after a huge rainstorm.

The decorative illustrations capture both animals and their surroundings.The story features a bilingual text in English and Wiradjuri. There is an accompanying video, produced by the ABC, in which the creator speaks the story's important words in English and Wiradjuri.

This book is the second in 'Grandma's Farm Series' which includes the following titles: 'Girrawaa the Goanna', 'Gurawang the Bandicoot', 'Mermando the Spider' and this title. All were written and illustrated by Gloria Whalan.

Gloria Whalan comes from the Morwell community, although she grew up in Lithgow, NSW. Her people are the Wiradjuri, from around the Blue Mountains in NSW.
