"In My Blood It Runs - History. Learning. Love. Resistance" By Dujuan Hoosan, Margaret Anderson & Carol Turner, Blak Douglas (Illustrator)

In My Blood It Runs – History. Learning. Love. Resistance tells the story of Dujuan Hoosan, a 10-year-old Arrernte and Garawa boy growing up between two worlds. Out bush, he is a traditional healer, grounded in culture and spirituality. But in town, the world of school and systems begins to alienate and criminalise him.

Feeling "wrong" in school and targeted by authorities, Dujuan’s path becomes shaky—until his family steps in. They know his healing power is part of an ancient knowledge. They take him back to Country, where he is reminded of his place, his history, and his strength.

Adapted from the award-winning documentary of the same name, and enriched with stunning illustrations by Blak Douglas, this book is a timely and moving testament to First Nations identity, resistance, and self-determination.

It’s not just a children’s book—it’s a political and cultural artefact written for the next generation and for anyone seeking to understand the lived experiences of Aboriginal youth in so-called Australia.
