This Resource includes books aimed at children from birth through eight years, while recognising that some of these books are also accessible to an older age range. Stage 2 of this resource researched and added books and resources to expand the coverage of books suitable for secondary school. No database such as this resource is ever complete. Updating will maintain currency and highlight new directions.
Initially, the NCACL researched and identified over 350 children’s books by and about Aboriginal and or Torres Strait Islander Peoples, published between 1974 and 2020 for young people from birth through eight years of age. Books are now being added that will attract an older readership. Each book in this Resource can be researched using a range of search filters listed below.
