Author: Elaine Russell
Year: 2004
Genre: True Story
'Elaine Russell' has based this story on her life and the memories she had as a child, when they moved to La perouse in New South Wales. The story is about her dad building a shack on the beach with tin, rubbish tips and a dirt floor'. This story illustrates a true story about a young indigenous childhood, which showed both a bit of comedy and sadness. The story is written in small paragraphs on each page, with a large bright picture about illiusutrating what is happening in that piece of text.
This book would be suitable for middle-upper primary, as it would be a bit harder for younger students to understand who the indigenous people are and the difference in cultures. This story would be suitable to use in an English lesson, or SOSE if studying indigenous culture.
