"Dreamtime Man's" lyrical rhyming verses take children and adults back in time, to how Australian Aboriginal tribes lived for tens of thousands of years. Their belief in the Dreamtime shaped their lives. What happened to these vibrant people when they first came in contact with white settlers had tragic consequences, and their culture and way of life was changed forever. Finke's story is based on a fascinating part of Australian history. Illustrator Ioana Zdralea also perfectly captures the essence of the Dreamtime Spirits, and the bush and outback areas of Australia where the aboriginals thrived. *Suggested reading range: From grand-kids to Grandmas-and all ages in-between.
