'The inspiring story of rugby league star Nicho Hynes, who grew up to find his passion when he found his people.

'A beautiful and moving picture book for every young reader who has ever attended a Harmony Day celebration and grappled with questions of identity, family and home.

'As a kid, Nicho knows a few things to be true.
Everyone calls him Nicho, instead of 'Nicholas'.
He loves the sport of rugby league.
And he is Aboriginal - but he hasn't always known what that means.

'Then one day at school, Nicho sees his friend covered in white paint and practising a special dance.

'Nicho asks him to teach him the dance too . . . and that's when everything changes.

'Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture and society has existed on this continent for millennia. It is a culture that manifests as the ultimate example of resilience, strength and beauty. It’s also a culture that has consistently been led by its women.My Tidda, My Sister shares the experiences of many Indigenous women and girls, brought together by author and host of the Tiddas 4 Tiddas podcast Marlee Silva. The voices of First Nations’ women that Marlee weaves through the book provide a rebuttal to the idea that 'you can’t be what you can’t see'. For non-Indigenous women, it demonstrates the diversity of what success can look like and offers insight into the lives of their Indigenous sisters and peers. Featuring colourful artwork, this book is a celebration of the Indigenous female experience through truth-telling. Some stories are heart-warming, others shine a light on the terrible realities for many Indigenous women in this country today. But what they all share is the ability to inspire and empower, creating a sisterhood that all Australian women can be part of.' (Publication summary)

'Everywhere in Papunya is a road.'

'Hot winds, camp dog packs and bare feet with the night-surveillance truck forming crop circles in the burnt sand outlining the town's boundaries. From the sky, the connecting curves and faint lines resemble a tjupi, or honeyant, an insect that looks like and everyday ant from above but with a swollen amber abdomen that is said to taste like a sweet treat. It is the animal that has represented the Dreaming for the area for over sixty-thousand years.'  (Introduction)
