Listen.

And you will hear the voices of Ancestors.
Speaking to us.
Guiding us.
Leading us on the path to knowledge of culture, of Country.
To reconciliation.

Listen.

Listen encourages the reader to reflect on the importance of listening and truth-telling in response to Australia's complex history. The poetic writing style creates a rich and respectful text, and the bright colours inject a sense of joy into a text that explores what is often a painful history. The use of traditional First Nations techniques reinforces the longevity and importance of a culture that has lived on Australian land for over 65,000 years.
