There was no white sugar or food in cans. Today, Indigenous families living in cities and towns buy their tucker from the shops. But when the mob go out bush on weekends, roo and barramundi make real good nosh.

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.
