"I will show you how to play with the ocean," said Malu-Kangaroo.

He took some wood and he worked it, and he shaped it and rubbed it and smoothed it, and he floated it upon the water...

A modern indigenous story told in the traditional style combining Dreamtime legend and contemporary imagery.

With beautiful, evocative text and vibrant, intricate illustrations it tells the story of how people first learnt to surf.
