The Itchy Dingo

This story is a loose adaptation of the Sugala Sutta, a fable told by Buddhist monks of the forest tradition. Set in Australia, it follows the actions of an itchy dingo named Taj, whose existence is made miserable by his constant need to scratch. To find relief from his painful condition, Taj gets the itch to go and sets out to seek advice from fellow bush animals that he encounters on what is to become a journey of self-discovery. This timeless tale is brought to life through the illustrations by Michael Connolly, an Aboriginal artist whose DNA lineage is unique to Australia and was found to date back between 35,000 and 50,000 years.
