"Books are powerful tools for educating and empowering children about the
histories, achievements and ongoing contributions of First Nations peoples to
Australian society.

The best books are those written by First Nations authors that authentically
recognise and celebrate culture. Often, they are produced by First Nations
publishers, such as Broome-based Magabala books or in one case, the Indigenous
Literacy Foundation.

Here, then, are five such picture books to read during NAIDOC week – or indeed,
any time."
