From celebrations to traditions - over this month I've travelled the globe, and subjects - and I hope you enjoyed the journey with me.
The big bath house by Kyo Maclear & Gracey Zhang.
Come together: things every Aussie kid should know about the First Peoples by Isaiah Firebrace & Jaelyn Biumaiwai.
In this essential book, Isaiah, a Yorta Yorta and Gunditjmara man, establishes a foundation of First Nations knowledge with 20 key topics. Alongside bright and contemporary illustrations by Mununjali and Fijian artist Jaelyn Biumaiwai, Isaiah connects us to each topic through his own personal story and culture, from the importance of Elders to the Dreaming. From Koori Curriculum.
Coming home to country by Bronwyn Bancroft.
The ocean calls by Tina Cho & Jess X. Snow.
How my Koro became a star by Brianne Te Paa & Story Hemi Moorhouse.
The author, Brianne Te Paa, is a local for me. Literally works a ten minute walk away. We've done story readings at the same events - at a venue equidistant.
