- About the Book
-
When Annie’s dad promises her a beach sports car she imagines a bright red hotrod with racing car stripes. All her school friends will be so jealous! But it will take a lot of work to turn Dad’s battered old bomb into the car of Annie’s dreams. Then again, hard work can sometimes make the rewards seem so much sweeter.
An illustrated first chapter book about using your imagination to make everything old, new again.
About the Waarda Series
Waarda, Nyungar for talking and sharing stories and information, is an exciting new Indigenous children’s series. Edited by Sally Morgan, the series is designed to support the literacy needs of Indigenous children in primary school, by making available to them stories written by Indigenous authors. At the same time, it will introduce non-Indigenous children to the richness and depth of Indigenous storytelling. Above all, it is a collection of fun, interesting and diverse first chapter books for new readers.Watch the booktrailer created by Rosalie Primary School here
