Gamilaroi and Wiradjuri woman Aunty Sharron Mirii Bell will hard-launch her latest children's album 'Bunyingganha' on 28 February with a special afternoon of music, stories and community at Bribie Island Kindergarten.
The album, whose title means "to breathe in and breathe out", explores themes of wellbeing, cultural connection and healthy habits through 11 original tracks.
Created for young children and families the songs use Gamilaraay and Wiradjuri language, English lyrics and interactive actions to encourage self-care and connection to Country.
Aunty Sharron said 'Bunyingganha' was made to support positive health messages in a gentle and culturally grounded way.
"The album's all around wellbeing and taking care of yourself," Aunty Sharon said.
"Stopping for those moments for breath and looking after your body, eating good food... just want to bring that beautiful health and wellbeing energy to our young kids."
The track 'Look After Our Bodies' links cultural dance and movement with healthy routines, inviting children to copy animal actions used in corroboree.
"We're talking about doing exercise but also how we do our exercise during like our corroboree," Aunty Sharon said.
"We've got the different animals and we're doing the actions... it's about not only eating veggies but eating bush tucker, drinking plenty of water, even going for walks."
The project builds on Aunty Sharron's work as an early childhood educator and performer, known for her engaging cultural programs across South East Queensland.
Her puppet shows, including the character Dhinawan the emu, use music and storytelling to teach young audiences about Aboriginal culture and identity.
She presents 'Stomp with Aunty Sharron' where she is joined on stage by her daughters to perform a mix of traditional and original songs.
"It's through music and that's our way, that's our culture, is through song and dance," she said.
"That's how we learn, everything is through that beautiful way of telling story."
The album was first released digitally in May 2025 and is available on Spotify and other streaming platforms.
The launch event will celebrate the release of physical copies, recorded at Alchemix Studio in West End with long-time collaborator Marly Lüske.
"A big shout out to Alchemix... a fella named Marly Lüske does all my recording, and he helps make the music with me," she said.
"I call him my magic music man and he is just amazing. He's a master at what he does."
'Bunyingganha' also includes guided meditations and a bilingual version of the title track, blending Gamilaroi language and English to support both cultural learning and mindfulness.
The free family-friendly event will run from 2pm to 4:30pm on Saturday 28 February at Bribie Island Kindergarten.
Children are encouraged to attend, light refreshments will be provided, and merchandise will be available. RSVPs can be done via Facebook or Indigenous Inisghts.
