World Kid Lit Month 2023: A book by a speaker of an Indigenous or First Nations language

A Book by a Speaker of an Indigenous or First Nations Language: 

Listen. 
By Duncan Smith and Nicole Godwin; with paintings by Jandamarra Cadd. 

Wild Dog, 2023. 

This is an invitation to healing and walking together proper way - 

One heart One people One mob. J.C. 

Striking and compelling in its surface simplicity, this is a wonder to behold. 

The use of colour - and black and white. 

The weaving together of Western and Aboriginal art traditions. 

The culture, beliefs, and ethos of the Aboriginal peoples are deeply embedded. So deep, that the book appears simple.
