About this ebook
As the great cold moves in and creeps into their hideaways, the animals are forced to prepare for winter. The blind goanna lizardand the flightless magpie—the weakest among the animals—are helpless on their own,but when they work together, the power of their friendship and cooperation make them strong enoughto survive the elements. Told in the traditional style of indigenous Australians, this original story enlightens young readers with a message of reconciliation and promotes care for the environment.
