AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'A joyful story about the power of reconnecting to family, culture and Country. From Australian of the Year Adam Goodes, co-writer Ellie Laing, and Barkindji illustrator David Hardy

''Where are we going again?' asks Lucy.

''Back on Country,' says Mum. 'Where we're going is where your nanna comes from, where we come from. Our Country is special to us. You'll see.'

It's Lucy and David's first time back on Country.

'They meet their cousins and Elders, and see special places, learn local language words and hear stories as old as time.

'Join them to feel the strength that comes from being back on Country. For ages 4-8.' (Publication summary)
