After the rain and Tropical Cyclone Fina, Little Luna May explores the nature strip beside Woolner Road in Darwin. Among muddy puddles, freshly cut grass, fallen pods, twigs, stones and tiny grasshoppers, she discovers colours, textures and creative possibilities already present in the world around her. Little Luna May looks, touches, gathers, watches, carries, mixes and makes — transforming her discoveries into pigments and art at home. Inspired by a real nature walk with the author’s seven-year-old child, this place-based picture book celebrates close observation, sensory discovery and the wonder of creating with what is already there. For curious readers of all ages.
