Fourteen Aboriginal children proudly introduce themselves, their Country, communities, experiences, activities and traditions in this book. Written in the first-person, each doublespread stands alone. Opening with the child’s greeting in coloured font, young readers are prompted to participate.
The language is simple, economical and age-appropriate, imparting snippets of information that are readily digested. It provides a wonderful opportunity for children to learn about aspects of Country & cultural daily life. Hyper-realistic digital illustrations fill the double spreads. Importantly, the children are depicted with varying skin tones, helping to deconstruct the myth that all First Nations people must have dark skin, hair and eye colours. Some additional information relating to language and Country is provided at the end.
