Roam the water with me. We are here to learn. Here to spin wisdom, to grow... Against a backdrop of a changed environment, an Elder leads a child along the waterways, sharing her People's knowledge and gathering community along the way. Afloat is an uplifting and inspiring audiobook that uses the practice of weaving as a powerful metaphor for the honouring and teaching of First Nations wisdom, and the coming together of all people to survive, thrive and create a more hopeful future.

Meet Cleo, a little girl with a big imagination - a memorable character created by children's book legends Libby Gleeson and Freya Blackwood. In the first Cleo story, Cleo desperately wants a necklace. Her parents say special presents are only for birthdays...but Cleo doesn't want to wait. In the second story, it's her mum's birthday, and Cleo doesn't know what to give her - until she has the best idea of all.

On a perfect day, the hours stretch endlessly ahead. Scribbling with chalk, running with kites, digging for shells... paddling, climbing, dreaming. Hour unfolds upon hour, with reassuring comfort and sleep beckoning at the end. Perfect is balm for the soul.
