Insects
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people have been living in harmony with the land and nature for thousands and thousands of years.
This story gives us a lot to think about.
What would you do if you saw a beetle lying on its back? How would you feel if you heard a butterfly weeping? Would you help a grasshopper if it got lost in your room? And if you saw a line of ants on their way home, would you step on them or leave them alone?
Insects is an adaptation of an Aunty
Wendy’s Mob song on the ‘happy to be me’ CD.
