The Danger Seed

Each Sharing Our Stories title focuses on one Indigenous Australian community. The opening of each book is built around a series of photographs describing the local community setting, and establishing the community in a particular place and time.
Following this is one story shared by that particular community, which conveys a message connected to the group’s traditions or social conventions. The stories are illustrated with paintings and drawings by children from the local community. Using a mixture of traditional and modern-day influences, the artwork brings the stories to life through the children’s personal interpretations.

The Danger Seed is a Dreaming story that people from the Karajarri community have chosen to share with us. Tha Karajarri community is located in the Kimberley region of Western Australia.
