ABBEY'S BOOKSELLER PICK ----- This is a telling of the significance of the 26th of January, with an indigenous perspective. A young girl is woken by her father early one morning, because they are taking Nan back to Country. It isn't a celebration for this family, but they will hold their own ceremony to remember what happened to them - because if you forget, you lose a part of who you are… Gentle watercolour illustrations in attractive but muted colours are a quiet counterpart to a proud matter-of-fact reclamation of what was taken, without stridency but also without backing down from their truth. An excellent book for introducing young readers to the other side of Australia Day. Lindy
Day Break is the story of a family making their way back to Country on January 26. We see the strength they draw from being together, and from sharing stories as they move through a shifting landscape.
