Etta and the Shadow Taboo
By Dr. JM Field
Illustrated by Jeremy Worrall
Where is theirs?
And where is mine?
To hurt a shadow
Is surely a crime
When Etta steps on Baawaa’s (her sister's) shadow, she learns of the Shadow Taboo, and learns to value the personal space of others, as well as her own.
Written by Gamilaraay author JM Field and illustrated by Ngarabal/Gomeroi artist Jeremy Worrall, Etta and the Shadow Taboo will invite readers to follow a Gamilaraay tradition where one must avoid stepping on the shadows of others.
