y separately published work icon My Country Ezekiel Kwaymullina , Sally Morgan (illustrator), North Fremantle : Fremantle Press , 2011 Z1779765 2011 single work picture book children's (taught in 3 units) 'The book was inspired by my Nana and Gran, who passed on their love of country to me. When I wrote the book I imagined what it would have been like for them as little girls, playing in their country without a care in the world. At the same time, I wanted to encourage self esteem in Indigenous youth as I feel Australia is in need of more Indigenous heroes. Because all heroes begin as children with a dream, hopefully books like this one bring them closer to that dream.' — Ezekiel Kwaymullina
