So proud of my eldest son who is working on the Little Fella Yarns project with the Western Australian State Library. A part of the Better Beginnings early literacy program, these book packs are give out to parents of Aboriginal babies in regional WA. The packs are being rejuvenated & my son is the project officer. I‘ve been asking him to bring me home a pack, and today he finally did! This is one of the awesome books in it ❤️🖤💛👶🏽📚👏.

This is an author from my own City where I live, first time knowing about this author. The story was great..not knowing who the killer was until the end was good. Will read more from this author.

A shot of a free lecture I attended at the Sydney Writer‘s Festival on Friday by the tagged author. #whereisallissa hint I am wearing a pink coat. I headed off to op shop after this. That morning I‘d been to fascinating lectures on 🎣(so I could impress my nephew & dad with my knowledge), turning plays into books & how Australian author Kate Forsyth uses myths to create her novels. I learn so much at these festivals and love using my brain again.

despite having read quite a bit about residential schools, there were still a couple of surprising things (not good surprising). Of course, when he finished school, he had issues (the alcoholism), but it was good to see how he got himself better and is doing good to help others, as well. I thought this was really good.

There were a few aspects of the way this was written, terminology used by the characters that seemed odd for the time and the switching between perspectives, that sometimes distracted me from the experience of the story. However, the story itself of a woman raising her children on her own in the Australian bush and meeting an aboriginal man on the run was powerful. I was completely caught up in their stories and how those stories came together.

Tamra I‘m anxious to read this! Have you seen the film? I haven‘t yet. 10mo
Daisey @Tamra I haven‘t. I just happened to download it from Libro.fm and then realized it would be a great choice for an Australia book. I‘d like to say I‘ll look up the movie now, but I rarely actually get to a movie after reading the book. 10mo
Tamra @Daisey I‘m always looking for a good film or show to watch for the treadmill. 😂 10mo

Just an amazing book. A story of love amid a sea of hate driven by small minded people. How hate of minorities continues to this day is a tragedy of the human race.

“If power is the ability of others to make you inhabit their story of you, this power can only be contained by the rigidity of ignorance and the inability to question and to learn.”

MrsMalaprop Haha, adding this book to my stack & who do I find? Welcome to Litsy 🥰 14mo

What an amazing book. I haven‘t been as angry, ashamed, or cried as much reading a book as I have for a long time. A story of the cruelty and stupidity of society, both in the past and to this day, besides the strength and enduring love still given by those marginalized by it.
