Stories are our history
Passed on down the line
But sometimes they get lost
And jumbled over time

This story is about the fish
In all their scaly tones –
The story of the fish
And how they got their bones

Sam Thaiday, Broncos legend, and Tori-Jay Mordey bring to vivid life a powerful teaching story from the Torres Strait.

When two boys encounter an old man on the beach, their fateful decision not to share their abundant catch with him has far-reaching consequences.

With a rhythmic text and vibrant illustrations full of drama, How the Fish Got Their Bones carries a powerful environmental message for young and old.

Perfect for:
– Reading aloud with little ones
– Introducing the power of storytelling
– Showcasing the Torres Strait environment and the importance of balance in the natural world
– Teachers and librarians to introduce First Nations culture to young readers
