Reviews

A beautiful celebration of our country with simple text and so much to look at in each stunning illustration. A book that should be in every home.’ Good Reading

‘This is a book every Aussie child should read.’ Sunday Times

‘… a loving and jubilant celebration of Australia, depicting the landscape as a diverse, bountiful and welcoming playground … Morgan and Kwaymullina’s text is outstanding–lively yet lyrical. This is an excellent introduction to the important concepts of nationality and belonging, while the underlying journey from morning to night also makes for a soothing bedtime read.’ Junior Books+Publishing

‘My Country, … is both enchanting and joyous.’ Artist’s Chronicle

‘Dreaming, exploring and wondering about the world is part of the essence of early childhood. This new Australian Aboriginal picture book … provides an excellent vehicle for supporting young readers to do just that, with vivid illustrations and a gentle dusting of text.’ Bright Hub

‘Sally Morgan’s pictures, strongly inspired by Aboriginal tradition, are unusual and beautiful. The pages are full of zinging colour [with] a lovely sense of design.’ Magpies Magazine

Ezekiel Kwaymullina (Author)
Ezekiel Kwaymullina is from the Palyku people of the Pilbara region of Western Australia. He is the author of several picture books, including We All Sleep (2015), Dreamers (2014) and My Country
(2011), all illustrated by Sally Morgan.

Sally Morgan (Illustrator)
Sally Morgan was born in Perth, Western Australia in 1951. She is a full-time painter and writer. For as long as she can remember Sally wanted to paint and write. However, at school she was discouraged from expressing herself through her art because her teachers failed to see the promise in her individual style. It was not until she researched her family history and discovered her Aboriginal identity that she found meaning in her images, and gained the confidence to pick up her paints again. Both her books and her paintings and screenprints have earned awards and wide-spread popularity.
