How The Cassowary Got Its Helmet - 9781959082651

A story from the Gimuy Walubara Yidinji First Nation people from Cairns, Australia about finding one's place in the world. This is the story of poor Cassowary, who was laughed at by the other animals because he could not fly. Avoiding the shaming taunts, Cassowary hides through the day, coming to the waterhole in the evening to bathe. One day, fleeing his tormentors, Cassowary runs into a large rock, part of which remains embedded in this head. When the kind Seahawk comes upon Cassowary he listens to the sad tale, encouraging the poor bird, and recognising his unique skills. Later when Seahawk asks for Cassowary's urgent help, he flies into action and saves the day.
