Baby Business by Jasmine Seymour

Jasmine Seymour is a Darug woman and a descendant of Maria Lock, daughter of Yarramundi.

Both heartfelt and stirring, My Culture and Me is a beautifully written and illustrated story of cherishing and sustaining Indigenous cultures. The words and pictures from Gregg Dreise will inspire all readers to learn more about this beautiful country.


Little Bird’s Day by Sally Morgan and Johnny Warrkatja Malibirr

Sally Morgan’s enchanting new book, illustrated by Johnny Warrkatja Malibirr, the inaugural winner of the Kestin Indigenous Illustrator Award, exquisitely renders the story of Little Bird as she sings the world alive. It’s a moving and tender story, brought to life by quirky and intricate illustrations.
