In this lyrical, beautifully observed picture book, we see through the eyes of a young girl camping on the river with her family, life as it would have been two hundred years ago.   Murrawee is a friend and guide as we experience the rythms of one day and become strikingly aware of what can be gained, simply by listening and sharing.
