Welcome home lost children
To land singing you back home
Listen to its language
Learn how to speak its song
Told in English and Dharug, OPEN YOUR HEART TO COUNTRY is a moving account of reconnection to Country from a First Nations perspective. Sharing the nourishing power of returning home and being immersed in the language of Country, this picture book invites readers to reflect on the importance of place, not only for First Nations’ peoples but for everyone.
With exquisite illustrations and soft, lilting text, OPEN YOUR HEART TO COUNTRY appeals to the very young, while sharing a deeper message for older readers. A book the whole family can enjoy. (From GoodReads.)
