Themes: Australian animals/ Night sky
A deceptively simple story for the youngest listeners and
lookers about the fate of Little Star who inadvertently falls off the edge of
the night sky into a swimming hole. Here he encounters a group of (eventually) helpful animals including a dingo, a python and
a kangaroo. One of the charms of the story lies in the bold illustrations that
have been created with acrylic gouache showing the rich colours of the Australian
Outback.
Blaze Jake Kwaymullina is the son of the illustrator, Sally
Morgan – Google their names for a really interesting story of a very creative
Australian family.
