Review:

"I recently purchased Growing Up Aboriginal by Anita Heiss from Koori Curriculum. I chose Growing Up Aboriginal by Anita Heiss because I am sole carer of my granddaughter who is Aboriginal.. I found working with Growing Up Aboriginal by Anita Heiss, to be informative and contains important information and answers that I feel my granddaughter should know. Growing Up Aboriginal by Anita Heiss is perfect for someone looking to either educate their young loved ones by helping understand what it means to be Aboriginal or somebody seeking more understanding themselves." - A. Luxford
