“Stolen Girl” By Trina Saffioti, Norma MacDonald (Illustrator)

Stolen Girl is a fictionalised account of the now universally known story of the Stolen Generations. It tells the story of an Aboriginal girl taken from her family and sent to a children’s home. Each night, she sings and dreams of her mother and the life they once shared — sitting on the verandah of their corrugated-iron home, cooking damper and hunting goanna.

Each morning she wakes to the harsh reality of the children’s home. But one day, she puts into action her carefully crafted plan — unlocking the door and taking her first step back toward home.

Stolen Girl gives young readers an insight into the life of a child taken away from everything they know into an unfamiliar and loveless world. It captures the deep emotional impact of this dark chapter in Australia’s history.
