A review by ren
The Rabbits by John Marsden, Shaun Tan

4.0

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
