Sally Morgan is an Aboriginal woman from Perth and while these aren't her traditional family stories they are stories she's created that were inspired by her upbringing. I love the illustrations in this book, they really bring the stories to life and are vivid and colourful.
My favourite story was The Roly Poly Wombat, he was just so adorable my heart couldn't take it.
I didn't enjoy this as much as I thought I would because I was really conscious of reading it and how I would use it in a classroom but I think Morgan's a valuable author. I will definitely be reading more of her work, adult's, children's or otherwise. (
