Janigun (at the Beach) by Brenton E McKenna (Board Book)

What can you see at the beach? This First Nations word board book helps young bubs explore the world around them, like fun seagulls, red jelly fish and shy hermit crabs. Created by Mabu Yawuru Ngan-ga, the Yawuru language centre in Rubibi (Broome) and award-winning graphic novellist Brenton E McKenna, young children will love reading this parade of life at the beach.
