Splosh for the Billabong

An early childhood concept book which revels in all things messy and sticky, and explores Australian animals and landscapes as well as indigenous art in a joyous, non-didactic and playful way

"Spot go my fingers

In the messy sticky clay

From the slippery-slidey riverbank

Near jabiru's waterhole

And turtle's secret sunning place."



A lively celebration of nature and the tactile fun that can be found in a waterhole, vibrantly illustrated by Balarinji, Australia's leading indigenous design studio. Splosh for the Billabong uses nature to teach children about the senses.
