"Afloat" By Kirli Saunders (OAM), Freya Blackwood (Illustrator)
Roam the water with me. We are here to learn.
Here to spin wisdom, to grow …
From award-winning Gunai author Kirli Saunders (OAM) and seven-time CBCA-winner Freya Blackwood comes Afloat, a story told in a time of climate crisis. Against a backdrop of a changed environment, an Elder leads a child along the waterways, sharing her People's knowledge and gathering community along the way.
Afloat is an uplifting and inspiring picture book that uses the practice of weaving as a powerful metaphor for the honouring and teaching of First Nations wisdom, and the coming together of all people to survive, thrive and create a more hopeful future.
