Young Dark Emu

Through compelling first-person accounts and historical research, this book challenges the traditional narrative of pre-colonial Aboriginal Australians as mere hunter-gatherers. It presents a vivid depiction of a land rich in cultivated farming, permanent settlements, and sustainable practices. Aimed at readers aged 10 and up, it encourages a re-evaluation of Australia's history before European colonization. Exquisitely illustrated, it adapts Bruce Pascoe's award-winning work for younger audiences, offering a transformative perspective on Aboriginal culture and its environmental stewardship.
