a boy named Boori gets a second chance when he mets a green tree frog a great book for all ages read it to your students and let the fun pour in
(Reviewing from months' old memory) Sequel to My Girragundji and The Binna Binna Man - more sober and for older readers yet. Portrayal both of reasons for hopelessness and for a way out of that.
(Reviewing from months' old memory) A sweet story about a boy, his frog, and the protection it gives him.

Love is Like Water is a love story and much more. The book’s cover plays up the fact that it is about love between a black man and a white woman, but love is only part of the larger story of individuals searching for self-knowledge and self-acceptance. The author uses the couple’s complicated relationship as a way of writing about what it means for a woman off a Queensland ranch to be alone in the world and for an Indigenous man to be proud of his heritage but scared by the pain that he and those he loves have suffered. The result is a beautifully told story with important resonances in our world.
