Warning: some students may find the subject and illustrations disturbing. This story comes from the wise and ancient language of the First People of the Western Australian south coast. An orphaned boy is struck by a djanak, a devil of Noongar Country, and burnt on a fire and eaten. Afterwards, a mysterious whirlwind lifts up his ashes and he is reformed limb by limb. Wirrawoorliny is a story about how Country, language and spirit can guide young people home. (publisher’s synopsis)
