DAY BREAK

by Amy McQuire with Matt Chun

Day Break is a beautiful new children’s picture book by Amy McQuire and Matt Chun. It tells the story of January 26th from the perspective of a family who are marking the day by remembering their history and making a special journey back to Country.
Day Break is a wonderful way to open a discussion with children about the issues surrounding ‘Australia Day’, reframing the story to sensitively but firmly put the focus on Indigenous survival and resistance.
