Same, but a little bit diff’rent by Kylie Dunstan Right up the very top of Australia there is a special place. My friend Normie comes from there, and he says that things are different to what you might see in the city. ‘Same, but a little bit diff’rent …’ There are things that all people need regardless of their culture or where they live. They are the elements of life that bind people together: food, water, relationships with animals, play, crafts, skills, transport, work, art and stories. (A sweet story about a unique friendship)
Look see, Look at Me! by Leonie Norrington
