Jane (store manager) –
Grandfather Emu is the first in the ‘Spirit of the Dreaming’ series, which takes Australian Aboriginal Dreaming stories from the past and creates new Dreaming stories that honour our First Nations people and their connections with the land and its animals. Grandfather Emu is the story of how marsupials got their pouches, but it’s also a story about the value of kindness and respect. This beautiful book has so much to offer: gorgeous illustrations in rich, vibrant colours; a sweet, simple tale with a powerful message that has meaning for Indigenous and non-Indigenous readers alike; and a smattering of words from the Noongar language, with a glossary and pronunciation guide at the end. It even includes sheet music and lyrics for a song written by the author and illustrator. An absolute gem of a book!
