"Black Cockatoo" is a vignette that follows Mia, a young Aboriginal girl as she explores the fragile connections of family and culture. Mia is a 13-year-old girl from a remote community in the Kimberley. She is saddened by the loss of her brother as he distances himself from the family. She feels powerless to change the things she sees around her until one day she rescues her totem animal, the dirran black cockatoo, and soon discovers her own inner strength. "Black Cockatoo" is a wonderful small tale on the power of standing up for yourself, culture and ever-present family ties. No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |

A short, touching story where the cockatoo echoes Mia's feeling of constraint in her tiny town ( she wants to see other places, other countries) but at the same time, she loves her Country. Full of text from the remote Kimberley region's clans and beautiful illustrations, this book captures the dilemmas faced by young indigenous Australians today. Would be suitable as an Easy reader for Year 7 students.
(I just wish all the illustrations were in colour like the front page.) ( )
