Sypnosis

Meet 11-year-old Bindi. She’s not really into maths but LOVES art class and playing hockey. Her absolute FAVOURITE thing is adventuring outside with friends or her horse, Nell.

A new year starts like normal—school, family, hockey, dancing. But this year hasn’t gone to plan! There’s a big art assignment, a drought, a broken wrist AND the biggest bushfires her town has ever seen!

Bindi is a verse novel for mid-upper primary students. Written ‘for those who plant trees’, Bindi explores climate, bushfires, and healing. Written from the point of view of 11-year-old, Bindi and her friends on Gundungurra Country.

Praises for Bindi

To read and consume the verse novel ‘Bindi’ is a gift…

Lauren Pratt, Underground Writers

...beautifully written novel…a call to action for young people to understand their role in conservation and caring for Country.

Australian Geographic Explorers

...this story deals with feelings of anger, despair and frustration, while also rejoicing in growing up on country and surrounded by love...Beautiful and intricate illustrations from Leffler further enhance the story’s emotional complexity.

Clare Millar, The Guardian

The beautiful illustrations are perfectly detailed balancing the sparsity of the text, with a story of incredible power.

The West Australian

...wonderfully engaging verse novel...Bindi is a must-read for ages seven and up.

Hannah Gardiner, Books+Publishing

Highly recommended...beautifully written heartwarming story…

Helen Eddy, ReadPlus

...an enlightening verse novel...a lovely blend of appeal and lyricism and incorporates language so skilfully that young readers will understand the Gundungurra words.

Joy Lawn, Paperbark Words

Kirli’s expressive language is beautifully paired with the equally expressive illustrations of Bigambul artist Dub Leffler...It is a visceral read and bone-achingly moving.

I live and work with Dharawal, Wodi Wodi and Yuin land. I give my love and respect to the families and the Ancestors here, and to all First Nations communities all over this continent and around the world. I honor the land, waters and sky, and the continuous connection to Country, Kin and Culture that we have as First Peoples. With gratitude, I promise to move here with care.
