Tamarra

A Story of Termites on Gurindji Country
A colourful, fun and educational First Nations book about bugs!

Tamarra: A Story of Termites on Gurindji Country is a fascinating, illustrated science book that takes kids inside the life of termites through storytelling from the Gurindji People.

Did you know there are four types of termite poo? Or that a warm paste made from termite mound is used to strengthen a Gurindji baby’s body and spirit? Or that spinifex (which termites eat) is one of the strongest plants in the world?

Created as a collaboration between over 30 First Nations and non-Indigenous contributors, the story and artworks explore how termites and their mounds connect different parts of Country, from tiny Gurindji babies and their loving grandmothers, to spiky spinifex plants growing in the hot sun.

Written in traditional Gurindji, Gurindj Kriol and English (with a QR code to an audio version spoken in language), Tamarra is a truly original story with beautiful artworks that takes readers on an educational and cultural journey through Gurindji Country.

Suitable for children aged 7 to 12 years.
