Critics Review
Written for the authors son, the story celebrates the many strands that make up our identities. But its message is one that many readers will relate to, reminding us that we don’t have to choose just one place to belong—our identities are shaped by where we come from, where we’ve lived and the people who have loved us. In a multicultural Australia, where so many children grow up connected to more than one culture and language, this is an important message. With striking digital illustrations by Ronojoy Ghosh, the book celebrates the richness of our global community while affirming that every part of a child’s story deserves to be recognised. * lovefourreading via instagram *
