Product Description:

Shanell says that the Binna Binna Man is a bogeyman the old people made up to scare the kids. Her cousin is not so sure. He has a spirit guide that keeps him strong when he's in danger, so he knows that there's more to the world that Madonna and McDonalds. But when he has to rescue Shanell by himself, at night, in the dark bush, he really hopes the Binna Binna Man is just a story. A stunning portrait of an Aboriginal family living in two worlds. The simple, direct text and haunting pictures illustrate that remembering where you're from is what keeps you going in the right direction.
