This beautifully designed anthology comes at a time when First Nations peoples are starting to break free of derogatory stereotypes and find solace in their communities and cultures. Yet,each contributor also has one thing in common: they all have a relative who has been terribly wronged – enslaved, raped and dispossessed because of their Aboriginality.

A gentle and loving book for families from anywhere in the world. Artwork by proud Kaurna/Ngarrindjeri/Narrunga/Italian Australian artist Tony Wilson, with illustrations and design by Gamilaraay designer Tristan Schultz of Relative Creative.

Why We Love

I first came across this book in a café while waiting for my coffee and was
instantly captivated by it. Beautiful + vulnerable words from First Nations
men. A special array of stories + reflections that will break your heart and
equally inspire you to learn more. This book is an eye-opener, a tear-jerker
and a quite frankly, a must-read.
