How Frogmouth Found her Home by Ambelin Kwaymullina

We will be celebrating National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Children’s Day during Online Storytime.

Unlike the other birds, Frogmouth did not want to live in trees, so instead, she crosses the land in search of a place to call home. On the way, she meets many animals, kindly helps them find a home of their own until finally she finds her own place where she feels most comfortable.
