Lucy’s Dawn

Author: Juliet Blair

Published by: NLA Publishing

One copy to give away

Today has been the most important day of my life. I still don’t know whether to laugh or cry. This is how it all began. Fourteen-year-old Lucy’s life changes when she starts a job working in Louisa Lawson’s printery, where only girls and women are employed. But it’s the late 1880s and the male printers elsewhere think that this work should be for men only. So they decide to make the girls’ lives difficult!

Lucy has many battles ahead but, in the process, she realises who her real friends are — and finds her first love. In this story, today’s young women can also find out about the early feminist struggles that were fought over rights that they now take for granted, and about the amazing women who fought so hard to achieve them.

Our Birds Nilimurrungu Wayin Malanynha

Author and illustrator: Siena Stubbs

Publisher: Magabala Books

Three copies to give away

A delightful gift book of birds from around Yirrkala, which is Siena’s home in North East Arnhem Land. This beautiful little book includes the English and Yolngu names of the birds and their Yolngu moiety.

In Yolngu culture, everything is divided into two moieties: Yirritja and Dhuwa – and as a result all things are classified, from a body of water to a specific type of tree and all our birds. Birds give themselves their Yolngu name by the sounds they make.
