Description

An Aboriginal ceremony of Welcome to Country is depicted for the primary time in a stunning picture book from two Indigenous Australians.

Welcome to the lands of the Wurundjeri people. The persons are a part of the land, and the land is part of them. Aboriginal communities across Australia have boundaries which can be defined by mountain ranges and waterways. Traditionally, to cross these boundaries, permission is required. Each and every community has its own way of greeting, however the practice shares a common name: a Welcome to Country. Aunty Joy Murphy Wandin, the senior Aboriginal elder of the Wurundjeri people, channels her passion for storytelling into a remarkable and utterly unique picture book that invites readers to find one of the most history and traditions of her people. Indigenous artist Lisa Kennedy gives the Wurundjeri Welcome to Country form in beautiful paintings wealthy with blues and browns, as full of wonder and history as the tradition they depict.
