Bakir and Bi by Jillian Boyd
Ill. by Tori-Jay Mordey. Magabala Books, 2013. ISBN 9781921248863.
I read this
book from a teaching point of view, and found it useful for
comparing Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal cultures. For example:
attitudes towards conservation and drought, interpretation of
dreams, beliefs. It could be used for some topics in Aboriginal
studies in the middle primary, such as the traditional use of
resources and the naming of children and places. I think it
would also be good for use in discussions about relationships, such
as what causes good friends/family to become estranged and sometime
enemies.
