Description 39 unnumbered pages : colour illustrations, music ; 25 x 30 cm Summary "Mother Nature has a language. If we listen, and read the signs in the land, we can understand what she is telling us. For thousands of of years, Aboriginal people have managed the land by burning Country. The trees and grass tell us the right places to burn, and they also tell us when it's the best time to burn. Join Uncle Kuu as he shows us how to listen to the land so that we can look after the plants and animals, and learn how to live with fire."--Back cover Analysis Australian Notes Colour illustrations on end papers Ages 5-10 Subject Aboriginal Australians -- Social life and customs -- Juvenile fiction Prescribed burning -- Australia -- Juvenile fiction Fire management -- Australia -- Juvenile fiction Wildfires -- Prevention and control -- Australia -- Juvenile fiction Fire ecology -- Australia -- Juvenile fiction Land use -- Australia -- Juvenile fiction Aboriginal Australians -- Social life and customs -- Juvenile literature Prescribed burning -- Australia -- Juvenile literature Technology - Fire Environment - Land management - Fire Environment - Climate and weather - Bush fires Genre/Form Picture books.
