Crayfish Tales in the Torres Dance

Crayfish Tales in the Torres Dance is part of the Meriam Mir Learning Book collection, bringing together story, language, art and song around sea life and Torres Strait Islander culture.

The book gives children an opportunity to explore marine life while encountering Meriam Mir words in a meaningful storytelling context.

Pronunciation support is an important part of the Meriam Mir Learning Books.
