As a young boy growing up in Broome, Joshua Button spent many weekends fishing and crabbing in the mangroves of Roebuck Bay, with his family. Set in Crab Creek, Joshua takes us on a crabbing trip, vividly capturing the atmosphere and energy of the place he is so familiar with, as he chases two crabs through the mangroves, up trees and into the water. Joshua and the Two Crabs is a delightful blend of art and story that captures the special feeling and sounds of the mangroves, and the joys of crabbing.
