In ‘A Big Man Grabs Sister’, two sisters go out looking for bush tucker when one strays away from the other. The ensuing drama ends happily with members of the family helping little sister to find her big sister. The author adapted the community story, as told to her by Western Arrernte Elder, Trudi Inkamala, to fit it into the rationale of the HARs.
There are 2 songs at the end of the book, ‘Big Fella Grabs Big Sister’ and ‘Find Another Camp’. They recount the story of ‘Big Man Grab Sister’ and can be used to teach vocabulary, pronunciation and aspects of Standard Australian English, such as the third person /s/, for example ‘takes, hides’. There are 5 exciting pages of comprehension and other activities for the readers to do, once they have read the book.
