BOOK: Win a copy of Cooee Mittigar
The Prime Minister's Literary Awards encourage a national appreciation of Australian literature and support increased understanding of Australian history. The winners were announced on 10th December and to celebrate we are giving away a copy of a selection of the winning works.
To celebrate the winner of the Children's Literature Award, we are giving away a copy of the winning book, ''Cooee Mittigar: A Story on Darug Songlines' by Jasmine Seymour, illustrated by Leanne Mulgo Watson
Cooee Mittigar, meaning Come Here Friend, is an invitation to yana (walk), on Darug Country. In this stunning picture book, Darug creators Jasmine Seymour and Leanne Mulgo Watson tell a story on Darug Songlines, introducing children and adults-alike to Darug Nura (Country) and language.
Greeted by Mulgo, the black swan, readers are welcomed to Nura. Journeying through the seasons, Mulgo describes the land, skyscape, birds, animals and totems. It is a gentle guide to how Darug people read the seasons, knowing when it is time to hunt and time to rest. It is also an appeal to remember, offering new ways of seeing and reading the lands of the surrounding Sydney region.
