A beautiful children's book written and illustrated by students from Melville Island with Alison Lester.

'You're going to love this funny Tiwi story with its beautiful illustrations' - Alison Lester

No Way Yirrikipayi! is the story of a hungry crocodile that goes searching for food on Melville Island. Along the way he encounters both land and sea animals.

Written in both Tiwi and English, this delightful, humorous book is beautifully illustrated and will appeal to all ages. It was written and developed in workshops lead by Alison Lester, ILF Ambassador and the former Children's Laureate.
