(3) K-3 Illustrated by Lisa Kennedy. Australian Aboriginal communities traditionally had geographical borders, such as mountain ranges and rivers, that defined their lands, and travelers would need permission to cross them. Murphy, a Wurundjeri Aboriginal elder, expands on this ceremonial greeting and permission-granting by describing her country and people with simplicity and reverence. Earth-toned acrylic paintings decorated with white dots and lines add a sense of place.
