Quotes
"This beautifully told story gripped me with its images from the first lines. It made me think about the people who were here before and the lives lived, the children born, the interactions and conversations had, the beliefs and ways of explaining why."
Professor Fiona Stanley, Telethon Institute for Child Health Research, Perth
"Yearning to Go Home brings back many memories of traditional stories from my childhood, and the storytellers that passed them on to me. There's a real need for this style of storytelling for communities to continue and flourish. People of all ages and experiences will clearly gain from the story."
Dr. Shawn Wilson. Northern Rivers University Department of Rural Health, Lismore
"This is a simple story, yet it is a deeply profound story. It reminds us of the inevitability of life which is always evolving. Things will always change. The best we can do is choose how we respond to change and see what it brings."
Dr. Chris Sarra, Indigenous Education Leadership Institute
