"In The City I See" By Tori-Jay Mordey

Sold Out

In this vibrant early childhood board book, Torres Strait Islander artist Tori-Jay Mordey brings the city to life through bold, expressive illustrations and a fresh, youthful lens. From tall buildings and long buses to pigeons, buskers and people, In the City I See explores the movement, rhythm and colour of urban life.

With her painterly art style and strong graphic sensibility, Mordey captures both the big picture and the small wonders — from the quirky gait of dogs to the everyday hustle of city streets. The book is a celebration of community, place, and cultural presence, subtly reflecting Indigenous identity in the modern cityscape.

Perfect for young readers, In the City I See encourages observation, inclusivity, and an appreciation of the urban world around us.

About Tori-Jay Mordey

About Tori-Jay Mordey

Tori-Jay Mordey is an established First Nation, Indigenous Australian artist and illustrator based in Meanjin/Brisbane. Growing up she openly shared both her Torres Strait Islander and English heritage, which is often reflected in her contemporary Indigenous art practice - producing work based around her family and siblings as a way of understanding herself, her appearance and racial identity.

Over the years Tori-Jay has honed her skills in digital illustrations, drawing, painting, print making and film while also expanding her skills as a mural artist. In her illustrative work Tori-Jay often enjoys exploring human connection in relation to love, loss and identity. She often draws in a surrealistic cartoon style to help visually capture these complexities of our emotions; distorting and exaggerating the characters in a way that helps express and expose their vulnerabilities while being vibrant and playful.
