The song of the regent honeyeater has been heard in the bush for
many generations – but could it soon be lost forever? Regent's
father had learnt the song from his father, who learnt it from his
father too. But with Regent's species now facing extinction, there
is no one around to teach him. Regent tries to mimic the sounds of
different birds but without success. Will Regent learn his mating
call before it's too late? Or will his ancient song be forgotten
forever? Reading level varies from child to child, but we recommend
this book for ages 5 to 9. Features Introduces readers to the
concept of how and why a species can become endangered. Explores
how songbirds need to listen and learn from others in their species
in order to keep their song. Shows how conservation work is proving
hope for the Regent Honeyeaters, and helping them learn their song.
Cathy ran barefoot every day across the great ancient land, as her
people had done for sixty thousand years before. And when she ran,
she could hear the heartbeat of the land. Ba Boom Ba Boom Ba
Boom... Then one day, Cathy hears a cry. She answers this cry and,
with one small step at a time, the seeds of change are planted.
Cathy Freeman has always been an inspiration to young people. Here,
she does it again, through storytelling - just as her people have
done, for sixty thousand years before... Listen, and you too, will
hear the Heartbeat of the Land.
