Respect
Aunty Fay Muir, Sue Lawson, Lisa Kennedy
Respect is the first title in the ‘Our Place’ series of four children’s picture books which welcome and introduce children to important elements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture. Respect whispers a soft and heartfelt message about the basic cultural principle that informs all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Nations throughout Australia. Respect is about a way of life that is older than flickering stars, about stories that shimmer through tall grasses, and redgum leaves that tumble to a parched and red earth. It teaches children the importance of family who show the way and how we need to listen, learn and share.
This eloquent and delicate story shows young and old alike, what Respect looks like for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
Respect presents a code that everyone can live by — and it does so in a poetic and visually delicious package. It’s a history lesson, a cultural lesson, and a universal creed rolled into one perfect picture book.
Aunty Fay Muir and Sue Lawson...have collaborated with artist Lisa Kennedy to deliver this absolutely exquisite picture book...Muir and Lawson’s sparse text is offset by Kennedy’s luminous images, which come alive on the page.
...Respect is a centrepiece for education and should be in every classroom.
