Table of ContentsReviews'An essential for all young Australian readers, this is a rare opportunity to learn about one of the world's oldest continuous cultures.' - Emmelyn Vincent, OzKidsinPrint, Issue 1 2022 Author InformationAdam Goodes is an Adnyamathanha and Narungga man and community leader. He is a former Australian Rules Footballer, having achieved the greatest heights in the game, and was named Australian of the Year in 2014 for his public work in the fight against racism and his advocacy in First Nations affairs. Together with his cousin Michael O'Loughlin, Adam founded the GO Foundation, which supports and inspires the next generation of First Nations leaders. With a diploma in Aboriginal Studies and his own daughter approaching preschool age, Adam was motivated to publish a series of books for young children and families about Australia's First Nations history. Ellie Laing (nee Southwood) is a communications professional, and former political advisor and journalist, who lives on the lands of the Cammeraygal people on the northern beaches of Sydney with her husband and two sons.

She has recently completed studies in Traditional Aboriginal Cultures.
