"Welcome, children! Nangga! Nangga! Yakarti! Tonight will be our Ceremony. Our family gathers as the fire burns.The smoke rises up as we take it in turns. The smoke rises up as we take it in turns... Then clapsticks tap - one, two, three - but a stick is missing! Where could it be?" Ceremony is a delightful story shared through the eyes of children, sharing the traditional customs of ceremony and celebrations of Aboriginal people. The ceremony in this book is a celebration of the change of season, an ancient cultural practice of the Adnyamathanha people and many other Aboriginal clan groups around Australia. It is a true illustration of the connection to community, Country and culture that is not just in the past, but is celebrated today.
