Discover the world of First Nations astronomy knowledge with Gomeroi astrophysicist Krystal De Napoli in Wondrous, Deadly Skies, a cool, illustrated science book for kids aged 7 to 12 years.
First Nations astronomy is something of an untapped resource that can help us make sense of our planet. Across seven chapters, Krystal explains how the skies are connected to the land informing seasons, weather, plant cycles and animal behaviour. Discover how stars and their constellations are the GPS of nature and explore the extensive history of First Nations astronomical knowledge.
More than twinkling lights, stars are like books in a celestial library of First Nations knowledge. They guide First Peoples across Country and mark the seasons. Moon phases tell of the best time to fish, while constellations announce blooming flowers.
With illustrations by Gunggari artist Desirai Saunders, this book will take you out of this world so you'll see the night sky the way First Nations People have seen it for millennia.
