Sun Mother Wakes the World was written by Diane Wolkstein and illustrated by Bronwyn Bancroft. This book was published by Harper Collins in 2004. The main theme of this story is creation. The mian character in the book is Sun Mother, who came down from the heavens. With every step she took, plants and grasses started growing. She explored the caves, and in every cave she wakes different animals and insects. Then she goes back into the heavens. The animals miss her and cry to heavens for her to come back, so every day she slowly moves in the sky as she visits the Earth. Then she gave birth to the morning star and the moon to keep the animals company while she was away. From the dust of the ground she creates man and woman to watch over the animals for her. This is a great book for studying the culture of the Australian Aborigines.
