The I in the Island: A Fun Phoneme Story

This is the story of the I. The I in the Island is a fun Australian-themed phoneme story that teaches young readers about the vowel sound I and where they can find it in different words. Beautifully illustrated by Janie Frith, the rich colours and vibrant use of multi-media enhance the magical experience. The book is about the Brolga dance of a group of Sydney Butchulla Elders, evoking a journey to faraway Kgari (Fraser Island). The first book from Judith and Janie, the Oo in Uluru, won a 2019 Book of the Year award from Speech Pathology Australia; this is their fifth book, the others being the EE in the Deep Blue Sea, the O in the Snow and the A in the Rainforest.
