AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Come Together is a heart-warming, debut picture book for children aged 5 and up from pop artist Isaiah Firebrace, inspired by his petition to the Australian Government calling for Aboriginal history to be taught in every classroom.
 
'In this essential book, Isaiah, a Yorta Yorta and Gunditjmara man, establishes a foundation of First Nations knowledge with 20 key topics. Alongside bright and contemporary illustrations by Mununjali and Fijian artist Jaelyn Biumaiwai, Isaiah connects us to each topic through his own personal story and culture, from the importance of Elders to the Dreaming.
 
'At once accessible and engaging, Come Together will make every Aussie kid proud that we are home to the longest continuing culture on Earth!' (Publication summary)

'The follow-up to Isaiah Firebrace's hugely successful picture book, Come Together, that explores First Nations music song and dance.

'Come Together Again is the second delightful picture book from Isaiah Firebrace for children aged 5 and up. It explores First Nations culture through a celebration of music, song and dance.'

'Music, song and dance brings people together, creating connections. For First Nations People, it is the heart of culture and community, holding knowledge, stories and tradition. For Isaiah, music is a huge part of who he is and in this book he shares his passion.

'Come Together Again teaches young readers about the integral role music and performance have played in 60,000 years of First Nations history and culture. Learn about the yidaki (didgeridoo) and how it makes its sounds or how leaves can whistle. Be introduced to First Nations singers in pop, country and opera music. Discover dancers in the styles of contemporary, ballet and hip-hop.

'Collaborating once again with Mununjali and Fijian artist Jaelyn Biumaiwai, Isaiah takes us on a musical learning journey through ceremonial history, instrument creation, and cultural beliefs and practices.'  (Publication summary)
