We Are Australians by Duncan Smith, Nicole Godwin

For those born in Australia, it’s easy to take citizenship and its responsibilities for granted. But there is much more to being an Australian citizen than having a passport and the right to vote.

We Are Australians encourages reflection and for readers to look further into the topics of citizenship and the role of Australia’s First Nations people.The poetic writing style creates a rich and respectful text, and the bright colours add a joyfulness and a sense of celebration. The use of traditional First Nations techniques reinforces the longevity and importance of a culture that has lived on Australian land for over 65,000 years.
