Imagine the wind and rain and sunshine on your face. Imagine deserts, seas and sandy beaches. Imagine the bush and all the amazing animals that live here, in this special land. As the traditional owners of Australia, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people have a very special connection to this land, as they have had for thousands and thousands of years.

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.
