Summary Note "When Mia [aged 13] rescues a dirrarn black cockatoo she faces her biggest challenge when she chooses to care for the bird, knowing it is her totem animal. Mia feels powerless to change the things she sees around her, until she explores the fragile connections of family and culture and discovers her own inner strength. 'Black cockatoo' is a gentle tale on the power about the power of standing up for yourself, culture and ever-present family ties." - Back cover.
