Earthspeak

NOTABLE BOOK: 2026 CBCA Book of the Year, Early Childhood SHORTLISTED: 2026 Karajia and Environment Awards for Children’s Literature

Papa says we’re going to a special place today. ‘If we djinang (look), ni (listen), goordoo (feel), we might hear boodjar wangkiny (earth speak). We might even feel her heartbeat.’ I wonder what that will sound like? Will the earth’s heart beat just like ours?

A bush walk in a stunning landscape becomes a heartfelt invitation for children to engage with their senses, care for the environment, and learn some Noongar language words along the way.
