“Listen now, stubborn boy. Careful – you might fall. Look now, stubborn boy. Someone’s watching across the shore.”
Geigi The Stubborn Boy shares the importance of listening to your Elders, the extraordinary lengths a mother will go to save her son, and a Creation story that explains the behaviour of the Giant Trevally and Triggerfish, which you can still see today in the clear blue waters around Mer, Dauer and Waier
This beautifully illustrated picture book, created by Michael and Elliot Passi, will take readers into the heart of Meriam Country a long, long time ago, retelling a story that has been passed down generations.
