Coming Home to Country

In Coming Home to Country, acclaimed author and artist Dr. Bronwyn Bancroft, a respected Bundjalung woman, uses vibrant illustrations and lyrical storytelling to introduce children to the profound connection to the land that is central to Bundjalung culture. Through the journey of a child running to the creek, perching on a rock, and slipping into clear, crystal waters, Bancroft beautifully conveys the essence of belonging and the importance of place in Indigenous Australian culture. With over three decades of experience as a renowned artist and the creator of 40 children’s books, Bancroft’s work celebrates the traditions, stories, and landscapes of her people, offering young readers a unique opportunity to explore and appreciate Indigenous culture. This visually stunning and educational book fosters a deeper understanding of nature, heritage, and identity, making it a valuable tool for teaching children about cultural diversity, respect for the environment, and the significance of home.
