The illustrations are adapted from their original paintings of the story. Hector Jandany and George Dingmarie of the Kija Language Group said, 'We have to keep this language which we got from our old people who have passed away. We don't want to lose it. The younger generation has to carry on the language that they learn from us.'

This story was told by Agnes Lippo from the Aboriginal community of Belyuen in the Northern Territory, where people from the Larrakia and Waigite language groups live. The illustrations in this book are adapted from paintings of the story done by the children at Belyuen School. Bill Turner, Head Teacher at Belyuen School in 1987, said "'The Kangaroo and the Porpoise' is one of the many stories from the very small Aboriginal community of Belyuen. We hope publishing these stories will enable us to buy materials for the school. We want to continue to document the culture of the people at Belyuen."

This book tells the story of Kaz Kangaroo, who is grazing with her Ma and the rest of the mob when she spots something far out to sea. Is it a whale? Kaz bounds down to the beach to see what it is and finds, to her surprise, that the 'whale' is carrying 'Uprights', or men. The men come ashore and set up camp, but then they spot Kaz. They have never seen a kangaroo before - never seen an animal moving this way, or an animal with a pouch! They decide to get nearer to investigate. Kaz is in danger but then the Upright in charge, wearing a blue uniform and big black hat, comes to her rescue.
