Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people have been living in harmony with the land and nature for thousands and thousands of years.This story gives us a lot to think about.

What would you do if you saw a beetle lying on its back? How would you feel if you heard a butterfly weeping? Would you help a grasshopper if it got lost in your room? And if you saw a line of ants on their way home, would you step on them or leave them alone?

The eight happy to be me picture books in this series feature a single song from the happy to be me CD, by Aunty Wendy’s Mob. The books provide a rich visual representation of the much loved lyrics of the happy to be me songs, incorporating messages of acceptance, cultural identity, connection to the land and sense of belonging.

The authentic artwork by Aboriginal artists features traditional and contemporary styles that range from the Central Desert, Cape York Peninsula and urban New South Wales. The artist’s interpretation of the lyrics brings an even deeper meaning to the songs and provides teachers with a visually stunning and engaging resource for the classroom. The series supports and extends the journey of learning for children as they explore, celebrate and develop a deeper understanding of Aboriginal culture.
