Blinky Bill is a young koala with a knack for naughtiness. Amusing adventures involve many other bush creatures. A gentle environmental message underlies the stories.

Despite a brutal early life, service in World War I and a hard existence of constant toil, Facey tells his story with humility and the certainty that he did, indeed, lead a fortunate life.

Bunyip Bluegum, Bill Barnacle and Sam Sawnoff, along with the cantankerous pudding which magically turns into whatever they fancy, have to fight off envious pudding thieves.

Wombat doesn't have many brains, but he has a good nature, a stout heart and a way of mangling words. Together with Mouse and the vain Tabby Cat, he has many delightful adventures.

Sally grew up in suburban Perth only suspecting her Aboriginal heritage. She searched to find the truth and her deeply moving story has become a contemporary classic.

The seven children of irritable Captain Woolcott of Misrule are full of life and fun - especially Judy, the cleverest one. Warm and charming, with likeable characters.

Engaging stories about Oodgeroo's childhood growing up on Stradbroke Island, together with retellings of Aboriginal myths. Vividly illustrated with Bancrofts unique yet traditional Aboriginal style, this is a lovely book for all ages.
