A First Nations Story
by Milton Lawton and Steven Kemp
Poppy-May Woora (Woora means Kangaroo) is an Aboriginal story gifted through the knowledge of our Ghungalu Elders. It carries cultural wisdom and introduces young readers to the Ghungalu language, keeping words and stories alive for generations to come.
Blending storytelling, language, and vibrant illustrations, this book invites children to journey alongside Poppy-May, discovering kinship, Country, and spirit. Each page opens a doorway to Aboriginal culture, where learning language becomes part of the adventure.
A celebration of culture, family, and tradition — Poppy-May Woora is a story to treasure, learn from, and share.
