Brother Moon by Maree McCarthy Yoelu

Available Stock:

Category: Children

"Great-Grandpa Liman lives in a small house by the sea. There are no lights — just stars as far as the eye can see." Brother Moon is a powerful story lovingly told by a great-grandfather to his great-grandson. Beneath the dark sky of the Northern Territory, Hippy-Boy is captivated when Great-Grand pa Liman tells him the mysterious story of his brother and how it guides his connection to Country. Great-Grandpa is a masterful storyteller and, as the tale unfolds, he finally reveals his brother is the moon — a wonder of the universe. Hippy-Boy learns how his greatgrandfather uses the phases of the moon when he goes hunting and fishing, and why it is important for us all to have an understanding of the natural world. Liman (Harry Morgan), the author’s grandfather, was a respected Wadjigany man — a leader amongst his people and the community. Liman was born at Manjimamany in the Northern Territory in 1916. He was a canoe maker, hunter, community mediator, and a family man who lived off the land and travelled the seas. Liman spoke Batjamalh, his first language, and other languages from the Daly River area. ...Show more

Young Dark Emu by Bruce Pascoe

Available Stock:

Category: Non Fiction | Reading Level: Eve Pownall Award

Bruce Pascoe has collected a swathe of literary awards for Dark Emu and now he has brought together the research and compelling first person accounts in a book for younger readers. Using the accounts of early European explorers, colonists and farmers, Bruce Pascoe compellingly argues for a reconsiderati on of the hunter-gatherer label for pre-colonial Aboriginal Australians.

Young Dark Emu — A Truer History asks young readers to consider a different version of Australia’s history pre-European colonisation. ...Show more
