Announcement posted by All About PR 27 Apr 2020
Interviews with Aunty Fay Muir available.
Dream team Aunty Fay Muir and Sue Lawson’s next collaboration is a beautiful picture book adorned with illustrations by Indigenous artist Lisa Kennedy, called Respect, out in May through Magabala Books.
The first title in the ‘Our Place’ series of four children’s picture books which welcome and introduce children to important elements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture, Respect is perfect for this uncertain period; a gentle book for families that whispers a soft and heartfelt message about the basic cultural principle that informs all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Nations throughout Australia.
Also perfect for home-schooling, pre-schools to children in early primary school can read this lovely picture book with Mum and Dad – a wonderful first introduction to Indigenous culture.
Respect is about a way of life that is older than flickering stars, about stories that shimmer through tall grasses, and redgum leaves that tumble to a parched and red earth. It teaches children the importance of family who show the way and how we need to listen, learn and share.
This eloquent and delicate story shows young and old alike what respect looks like for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and can be purchased via www.magabala.com now or your favourite online bookseller in May.
“Aunty Fay Muir and Sue Lawson…have collaborated with artist Lisa Kennedy to deliver this absolutely exquisite picture book…Muir and Lawson’s sparse text is offset by Kennedy’s luminous images, which come alive on the page.” – Books and Publishing
