'This book is in the family history genre and, contrary to the title’s initial impression, is a history of the Nyungar Hayward family through the eyes of the author, Eric Hayward. While the family’s story will resonate with many Indigenous families, No Free Kicks: Family, community and football is more than a family history and, as such, it stands apart from the more usual Indigenous family histories.' (Introduction)

'Winner of the inaugural Marrwarnging Award for Australian Indigenous writers, Corroboree tells the story of Wirrin, a small boy living a classical Indigenous lifestyle in the southwest of Western Australia. His favourite time of the year is springtime when bush tucker is plentiful and family groups gather for celebrations. We follow Wirrin as he participates in the family and group activities in preparation for the big bush meeting. Parents and grandparents provide the voice to explain the significance of events and procedures in the build up to and during the corroboree.' (Introduction) 

'A Story to Tell stands out among the body of work in the Indigenous life history genre. This small hardback publication is collection of short vignettes about Laurel Nannup’s personal life that illuminate a sense of her own community, and that of a generation of Nyungars in the southwest of Western Australia.' (Introduction)
