Join Noongar language teacher and storyteller Jayden Boundry and illustrator Tyrown Waigana for a special celebration of their Noongar language books: Kep Barna: Water Creatures, Worl Barna: Sky Creatures, and the newly expanded Noongar Boodja Waangkan: Noongar First Words. Enjoy a special storytime as Jayden reads from Kep Barna, introducing children to the water creatures of Noongar Boodja in both Noongar and English. This session also marks the release of Worl Barna, which explores the inhabitants of the sky, and Noongar Boodja Waangkan, featuring an even broader collection of first Noongar words including family, plants, animals, emotions, colours, numbers, and more.
This engaging event celebrates Noongar language, culture, and connection to Country, inspiring families to continue their language journey together.
