The Island in Time is a magical picture book adventure about a boy named Noah who paddles to a small island that transforms into a flying boat. Guided by a talking paperbark tree, he journeys to the ancient Whadjuk country along the Derbal Yerrigan (Swan River). There, Noah meets Yellagonga, leader of the Mooro people, and his son Gogalee. Through these encounters, Noah learns about the land, language, and the Rainbow Serpent (Waugal), discovering his Aboriginal heritage and deepening his sense of identity. The story blends imagination with ancestral wisdom, emphasizing respect for Country and intergenerational knowledge. The book celebrates cultural connection, history, and belonging, culminating in Noah's return home enriched by his journey and ready to share his story with his mother.
