Summary:
Told from the perspective of a young aboriginal girl, Sister Heart brings a personal and approachable conversation-starter about the Stolen Generation for the mature young reader. She is given a new name, Annie and taken from her home in the north of Australia and sent to an institution in the distant south. Through these hardships, she slowly makes a life for herself and in the face of tragedy, finds strength in friendship.
A hard and difficult conversation to have but one that’s necessary and important, Sally Morgan has written a spectacular verse book that shines a light at Australia's history and the experience and perspective of the indigenous community.
