Age range 8 to 13 Beneath the hot, blue sky, Mana is joined by her brothers, sisters and cousins, as well as her many mothers and her favourite dogs.

The Girl from the Great Sandy Desert is the charming account of the life of Mana, a young Walmajarri girl, and her family in the desert country of north-west Australia. Mona's semi-autobiographical narrative is set before European settlement impacted their lives. Complementing each story are cultural insights that enhance the understanding of desert life, and makes for compelling reading for all ages. The acclaimed Gooniyandi (Fitzroy River) artist Mervyn Street's black and white illustrations capture the subtleties of the Walmajarri way of life.

Pages : 129
Book Description
The intimate, private, and heart wrenching stories told in this book, the first of its kind in Australia, will penetrate the hearts and souls of even the most hardened reader. Told with incredible dignity and humility, each of the individual and deeply personal stories recounted is a powerful testimony to the gross inhumanity and brutal capacity of white people in Australia - colonists who selectively destroy and humiliate, without remorse, the lives and souls of their fellow black Australians. In Our Own Right: Black Australian Nurses' Stories provides a powerful catalyst for questioning and calling into question the taken-for-granted humanity of us all.
