My Grandma - I call my Grandma Grosi. My Grandma is the best at making knopfli. My Grandma is so good at netting. My Grandma loves me so much that because I am allergic to dairy so she has no dairy with me. She has a bird named JoJo. In 2021 at the Darwin Show I entered a picture of him. I did not win but I got a participation award. JoJo was Grosi's friend's bird but she died. Grosi has gray hair. Her hair is a boys type of hair. She is wrinkly. She lives in Palmerston. I love my Grandma.

My Papa always gave me huge cuddles. Pap always put family first. He was very special because he made up 'Passage to India' simmer sauces. Once Papa took me and Mimmie to the zoo in Victoria and he got us teddies. When Mum was a kid to used to rub Pap's belly for good luck. Papa liked spending time with me. And I liked spending time with him too. Papa was a very special person. And I loved him and he loved me.

To Nanna Thank you for looking after me when I was three and younger. I love it when you tickled me and took me to see ponies in the field. I remember one of my birthdays at your old house when we went in the pool. I hope you live to the hundreds so I get extra tickles filled with love. I will love you always from Levi

Hunting with Nan - The Story of this Painting At Ramingining my nanna Banyawarra makes weavings and paintings. She paints on bark and canvas and we use earth colours for our paint. She teachers me what plants to look for to make pink and purple dyes to colour the pandanus leaves. Sometimes I pick the wrong plant and she thinks it's funny. We go hunting together for long-neck turtles. When we see the little breathing holes in the mud, we poke a short stick down to feel for their shell. Then we carefully dig them up and put them in our bags. We need lots of turtles to feed our family and sometimes we keep the shells to paint on. The black colours in my painting make me think of the night sky. The blues and greens are water, they make me clam. The long white marks in the blue parts are waves. There is a turtle and two fish hiding in my painting. I put some of the marks in that nanna uses in he paintings because I love her stuff.
