Miri's been on the move and now she's finding her feet, her freedom, her community and her home, treading lightly all the way.


A story about spreading your wings and putting down roots in an ancient land.


From the much-loved creator of Rivertime (WINNER: Readings Prize and Wilderness Society Award) and Rockhopping (WINNER: CBCA Awards).


'Another lovely adventure from Trace Balla. Rich in country and family, deep in care for the future.' BRUCE PASCOE


'A beautiful book about being connected to the world at ground level. I feel like I've made a new friend through Trace's exquisitely accessible drawings and gentle prose.' ALISON LESTER


'Reminiscent of Alison Lester and Roland Harvey, Landing with Wings is a story about moving slowly, looking carefully and remaining curious, and it is a book that leads by example. In her loving portrait of community life in Dja Dja Wurrung Country, Balla achieves something like a contemporary visual bush poetry. It is spellbinding.' Books+Publishing
