Roam the water with me. We are here to learn.

Here to spin wisdom, to grow…

From award-winning Gunai author Kirli Saunders and seven-time CBCA-winner Freya Blackwood comes AFLOAT, a story told in a time of climate crisis. Against a backdrop of a changed environment, an Elder leads a child along the waterways, sharing her People’s knowledge and gathering community along the way.

AFLOAT is an uplifting and inspiring picture book that uses the practice of weaving as a powerful metaphor for the honouring and teaching of First Nations wisdom, and the coming together of all people to survive, thrive and create a more hopeful future. (From GoodReads.)

Kirli Saunders is a proud Gunai woman with ties to the Yuin, Gundungurra, Gadigal and Biripi people of Australia.

Freya Blackwood is a children’s book illustrator living in Australia.
