"This beautiful book has been carefully designed to present the traditional Dreaming stories of the Kukatja, a Kimberley people who still retain a living culture... The stories themselves are gracefully told and the pictures are magnificent. The entire production is of such excellence that it can be recommended as an art book for collectors, a picture book for children, a book on Aboriginal culture, and a language text. A work of distinction. All ages."
