It is three years since Henry’s Grandfather passed away and Henry's family return to the gorge which was an important place to visit. Henry remembers all the special things Grandfather taught him, like hunting in the streams for silver fish and finding emu eggs in the scrub. When Henry leaves camp to visit his ancestors' rock paintings he becomes trapped in a rock fall. As he struggles to get free he begins to understand that his Grandfather’s spirit is all around him. This is their Country.
The beautiful language is supported by illustrations which contain many visual references to Aboriginal culture, including totems, Dreamtime, ancestral rock paintings, campfires and the importance of family. The sensitive text and authentic style of the illustrations explore the journey of grief for a loved one.
Illustrator Debbie Taylor's roots are with the Kamilaroi people of the Riverine region of northwest NSW. This is the 4th title in the Dreaming Series.
