My Girragundji is the story of a boy who is scared of the bad spirit, the Hairyman, who roams his house at night.

But, when he is befriended by a green tree frog' girragundji', he realises that his ancestors have sent her to protect him and he can face his fears.

This story combines the talents of Boori Pryor, one of Australia's greatest aboriginal story-tellers and author Meme McDonald.

It's a tale firmly rooted in aboriginal myth and culture, but one that will appeal to any child who's been afraid of the dark.
