Tjulpu and Walpa: Two Children, Two Roads

This is a book for community workers, families, and communities working together to grow strong and happy children. Tjulpu is the bird that sings. Tjulpu’s story is about a girl who had all the love and support she needed to grow up strong, healthy and happy. Walpa’s story is about a girl who was blown around from place to place – just like the wind. Beautifully illustrated, this book shows how the care we give a child, shapes their behaviour. Ideal for educators wishing to expose children to different languages and dialects, encouraging an appreciation for linguistic diversity. This resource also explores the heritage associated with traditional storytelling elements and connects children to our rich and diverse history.
