Father Sky and Mother Earth
Author(s): OODGEROO
Father Sky and Mother Earth filled the world with plants and animals, and everyone lived in peace and happiness ...until Human Animals came along with their noise, rubbish, smoke and oil. This cautionary story, accompanied by colourful illustrations on every facing page, has a happy ending. Discover how the worried Human Animals stop the destruction. This new edition of Father Sky and Mother Earth, published 15 years after Oodgeroo's death, contains a vital message as relevant today as it was when the story was first published in 1981.
