Join a young girl as she introduces readers to the beach and ocean in Noongar and English. From the maamong (whales) out deep, to the maar (wind) in your hair and the scavenging djerinkarra (seagulls) to the warm, smooth boya (rocks), this picture book is a celebration of all things beachy, and a delightful introduction to a First Nations language.
