WIN! Badudu Stories




What is it like when an Aboriginal child moves from a remote community into a mainstream school?

In the language of the Wongutha people, badudu means ‘not what it seems’. Written from a child’s perspective, this lively collection of stories by bestselling author May L. O’Brien explores some of the challenges of learning to speak English as a second language for rural and remote Indigenous communities.

Author May L. O’Brien grew up in the Mount Margaret Mission and was a school teacher for 25 years. A tireless and selfless advocate for her people, in 1977 May was awarded a British Empire Medal for her services to education in general and to Aboriginal education in particular.
