This is a bit (a lot!) of an amalgamation of things, someone of a 'I want to include this, but where does it fit?' method of categorisation.
Crow Baby by Helen Milroy.
Crow Baby was born with two spirits: crow and human. This timeless tale, set in a timeless time - no-time and yet all-time - is deeply rooted in Australian First Nations stories and histories.
Helen Milroy is a descendant of the Palyku people of the Pilbara region of Western Australia.
Halu Bongo! Be quiet Bongo! By Lani Young, Sisilia Eteuati & Nikki Mariner.
A story of a beloved - yet barking - dog and how he annoys everyone. Until he saves the day. The lushness and busy-ness of a Samoan village is to the fore. I love how you can see the brushstrokes in the bright art.
The Hug by Eoin McLaughlin & Polly Dunbar.
This treasure is the first in a series of picture books featuring friends Hedgehog and Tortoise. The story reads from front-to-back, and from back-to-front, in parallel texts.
L is for Love by Atinuke & Angela Brooksbank.
I L is for LOVE this book - and the previous stories about this mischievous baby and their family in and around Lagos.
'Ohana means family by Ilima Loomis & Kenard Park.
A cumulative tale that celebrates Native Hawai'ian culture.
