Book excerpt: Featuring beautiful images and excerpts from the creation story of the Australian Eastern Arrernte people, this journal also includes a star map of the Pleiades constellation. The indigenous story tells of seven young sisters, each represented by a star and pursued by the tracker Orion. The journal includes a special page for each sister scattered throughout the writable pages, weaving together a story that can be read as ongoing, or rediscovered throughout the journal's use. Also included are key words from the story, presented both in Arrernte and English, creating a charming but valuable cultural connection for all ages.
