The Lost Tail
By Patricia Bernard, Illustrations by
Tricia Oktober
This beautifully illustrated book, uses
simple but powerful pictures to blend perfectly with the written tale all about
a young boy called Nura. Awoken one morning by Alfred, Nura is slow in getting
moving ready for their five day
journey to Goroka.
The dance
troupe are lining up to carry the snake to the dance festival.:Alfred, the
tallest is at the head, and little Nura us the smallest, so is carrying the
tale. As they are travelling Naru recalls his mother’s words about the trip and
all he will encounter on his journey.
Is he scared? Should he be? What kind of
people will he meet on his journey? And what will happen when he sleeps a
little too long?
Wonderful book with great in roads to
studying colourful cultural
activity in a celebration of Papua New Guinea’s diverse tribal rituals,
talents, music and dances.
