Colin McCahon inspired art in Discoverer's 1 pod

During reading time today the "Brilliant Butterflies" read a non fiction story about Davy Lowston, who wrote New Zealand's oldest folk song.

If you click on the link, you can hear the song he wrote. He couldn't read or write, and he was stranded on an island. See what you think, and leave a comment!
