Details

Somebody’s Land is an invitation to connect with First Nations culture, to acknowledge the hurt of the past, and to join together as one community with a precious shared history as old as time.

For thousands and thousands of years,
Aboriginal people lived in the land we call Australia.

The land was where people built their homes,
played in the sun, and sat together to tell stories.

When the white people came,
they called the land Terra Nullius.
They said it was nobody’s land.
But it was somebody’s land.

Adam Goodes and Ellie Laing’s powerful words and David Hardy’s pictures, full of life, invite children and their families to imagine themselves into Australia’s past – to feel the richness of our First Nations’ history, to acknowledge that our country was never terra nullius, and to understand what ‘welcome to our country’ really means.

Reviews

‘In Somebody’s Land, [the creators] repeat a vital message in the hope that every reader closes the book knowing that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples are the traditional custodians of the land on which we live.
The Age
‘The story of Somebody’s Land is simple, rhythmic and lyrical but it also packs a punch.
Australian Women’s Weekly
‘This is honest, lively and vital reading for the whole family.
The Big Issue
‘This book should be in every school library so parents and teachers can read it to their children and begin an important discussion.
Good Reading
Somebody’s Land really stands out as a book of meaning and education not just for Indigenous kids to learn but non-Indigenous to learn and understand the history of this country. And it soothes my soul.
Karajia Award for Children’s Literature judge Bunna Lawrie
‘This series is one of the most significant publications available to help our young children understand and appreciate the long-overdue recognition of our First Nations people in schools.
Barbara Braxton, Teacher Librarian
