It is the belief of the Australian Aboriginal people that long ago the earth was soft and had no form. Deserts, mountains lakes, and prairies were created by the animals.

Let young Mirri take your hand, and journey along with him as he learns about his heritage, his people's past, and his place in the future, while learning the stories of Dreamtime.

In graceful prose and elegant painting - some that echo Aboriginal rock art - Paul Morin tells a story of friendship, tradition, and dreaming that makes a faraway world seem very close.

From the Publisher:

ANIMAL DREAMING is a unique and sensitive story
"Within this beautifully illustrated book is the story of the Dreamtime of the Australian aboriginal people--how the animals of long ago created a world in which they all lived in peace and harmony. . . . Morin's bold paintings reflect Aboriginal rock art, the images of the traditional Dreamtime, and vividly realistic portraits of the boy and his elder." - Kirkus Reviews

"Morin sensitively and effectively draws on Aboriginal paintings in his myth-based sections of the book. His strong compositions and dramatic verve are riveting." - School Library Journal
