Notes:
We Are Australians is a wondrous book about what it means to not just be Australian, but to be a part of a community. We are new and from all over the world, or we have been here for tens of thousands of years. And we have rights yes, but we have responsibilities too. We’re not just individuals, we’re a part of something bigger, something ancient. We have been absorbed in the 65-thousand-year-old story of this country, and it’s up to us to reach out to connect with the culture of the people whose land we live on, to listen to and learn from their stories. The illustrations are a feast for the eyes and the book’s gentle message – of the importance of community and listening to those who have been silenced.Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander readers are advised that his book may contain images and names of people who have died. Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander content.
