Cooee Mittigar Storytime and Craft with Jasmine Seymour and Leanne Mulgo Watson

  • Katoomba Library 30 Parke Street Katoomba, NSW, 2780 Australia (map)

Join Darug creators Jasmine Seymour and Leanne Mulgo Watson for this wonderful children’s session, with storytelling, craft and songs. In Darug, 'Cooee Mittigar' means 'Come Here Friend', so take this as an invitation, and don't miss out on this fabulous opportunity for your children to explore Darug language, and to be part of the fun.

Jasmine Seymour belongs to the Grey Kangaroo (people of Richmond) in the Sydney area, and is a passionate arts advocate. She is the author of several children’s books, including Baby Business, Family, Open Your Heart to Country and the award winning Cooee Mittigar.

Leanne Mulgo Watson is a Darug woman commonly known in the Aboriginal community as Mulgo meaning Black Swan and is the daughter of Aunty Edna Watson and Uncle Allan Watson. Leanne is an award winning illustrator whose works include Sharing and Cooee Mittigar.

Supported by the Blue Mountains Branch of the Children’s Book Council of Australia, the Blue Mountains Library and Megalong Books.
