'This book and accompanying DVD of Dreaming stories introduces young children to a number of concepts such as explaining the seasons, life cycles, the importance of rain and responsibility for the environment; appreciating diversity in appearance, language and culture; exploring emotional concepts such as jealousy, fairness and the value of sharing; encouraging communication, cooperation and teamwork; and activities involving music, movement, art and computer design. The Dreaming stories are an important part of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people's cultural heritage and are the world's longest continuous record of historic events and spirituality, providing valuable wisdom for all people.'
