This book is all about the experience of children finding harmony in the land and in their community. Written by Nadia Wheatley and Ken Searle.

about the author:

Nadia Wheatley writes for both adults and young people. Her award-winning books cover the genres of fiction, history, biography and picture books, and reflect her commitment to social justice. Nadia's first book, Five Times Dizzy , was often described as the first multicultural children's book in this country.

Ken Searle grew up around the Cooks River, in the south-west suburbs of Sydney, where he still lives. He is best known for his large paintings in oil on canvas, depicting the suburban and industrial areas of a number of Australian cities. As well, he has painted the landscapes of the Western Desert and of the southern coastline.

In 2005 Nadia Wheatley and Ken Searle developed an innovative Harmony project with children from Muslim, Catholic and state schools in Sydney's south-west. Examples of the students' writing and art are included in the picture book Going Bush , which is illustrated and designed by Ken and has a narrative text by Nadia. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
