50books_poc#18 - The Kangaroos Who Wanted to Be People, May L. O'Brien, illustrated by Angela Leaney, 1992
Another book set aside for my little girl (when she gets old enough to want to do something other than chew and suck on books).
This is a retelling of a traditional story which reads like a just-how-story. It explains just how Kangaroos came to hop and to not be able to talk to humans.
Some parts are translated into Wongutha. May L. O'Brien is a Wongutha woman who was educated at Mount Margaret Mission and then worked as a teacher.
