Day Break
Day Break | Amy McQuire
5 posts | 3 read
Day Break is the story of a family making their way back to Country on January 26. We see the strength they draw from being together, and from sharing stories as they move through a shifting landscape. The story refocuses the narratives around 'Australia Day' on Indigenous survival and resistance, and in doing so honours the past while looking to the future. Confronting yet truthful, painful yet full of hope, Day Break is a crucial story that will open up a conversation on truth-telling for the next generation.

‘Australia Day‘ Jan 26 has well and truly passed this year, but I saw this book in a book shop and had to buy it. It‘s a beautiful children‘s book that explores Jan 26 from an Aboriginal perspective. Lots of children (and adults!) would benefit greatly from reading this book. #truthtelling

It‘s Invasion Day.
For those of us that are settlers here, please pay attention to what Indigenous people are saying. It is not acceptable to ignore it. It‘s not acceptable to celebrate stolen land and genocide.

From Day Break by Amy McQuire and Matt Chun.

Blurb on the back “ A truth telling that every child in the colony should hear.” Chelsea Bond. And might I add every adult. A wonderful story and discussion starter for 26th January. Highly recommend.
