loved the illustrations - amazing book around the issue of colonoziation - from an Australian perspective.

Oh Gott, ist das traurig! Sehr düster, lässt sich gut auf Geschichte (Land wird Einheimischen von Immigranten weggenommen) beziehen. Wenige Worte und großflächige Zeichnungen, auf denen man auch nach minutenlangem Gucken noch Neues entdeckt. Und das Ende ist so traurig :(

Holy crap. This book is everything. It is yesterday. It is today. It is tomorrow. It will haunt you.

Stunningly beautiful and heartbreakingly tragic. The pictures tell stories that words cannot and the little text there is emphasises the momentous feelings these magnificent pictures evoke. A true masterpiece.

i wish i read this book when i was a kid. growing up with the English curriculum, the only thing i remember learning about Australia was that the British sent their prisoners there to live because there was no room. nothing about the atrocities committed by the English against the aboriginal people whatsoever.
i never thought I'd be living in Australia 20 years later but here i am.
The illustrations are so evocative and detailed.
i think a really important book. neither author nor illustrator is aboriginal. I'll have to seek out aboriginal stories
