Family
Our Place series
Aunty Fay Muir & Sue Lawson, Illustrated by Lisa Kennedy
This lyrical and heartfelt book explores the meaning of family from a First Nations perspective. It centres the connections between people, Country, stories, and community, showing that family is not only about who you live with but also about where you come from and who you belong to.
Why It’s Included
This book offers a beautiful and respectful invitation into Aboriginal ways of understanding family and belonging. It aligns with our values of cultural respect, truth-telling, and expanding children's understanding of what family can mean—beyond nuclear or Western definitions.
Who It’s For
Best for children aged 4 to 10. A thoughtful resource for all families, especially non-Indigenous readers seeking to raise culturally aware and respectful children. The poetic language and rich illustrations make it suitable for reading aloud again and again.
