Happy To Be Me - Picture Book - Special Land Imagine the wind and rain and sunshine on your face. Imagine deserts, seas and sandy beaches. Imagine the bush and all the amazing animals that live here, in this special land. As the traditional owners of Australia, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people have a very special connection to this land, as they have had for thousands and thousands of years.

Happy To Be Be - Picture Book - Insects Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people have been living in harmony with the land and nature for thousands and thousands of years. This story gives us a lot to think about. What would you do if you saw a beetle lying on its back? How would you feel if you heard a butterfly weeping? Would you help a grasshopper if it got lost in your room? And if you saw a line of ants on their way home, would you step on them or leave them alone?

Happy To Be Me - Picture Book - Kami's Country Kami means 'grandmother' in both the Pitjantjatjara and Yankunytjatjara languages. Permission to include Kami was given by the Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara land council. Let's go walking with Kami way out bush in Pitjantjatjara Country and feel the desert all around us. Let's pick the earth up with our fingers and feel the dirt between our toes. Let's listen up when Kami speaks, 'cause there's much to learn and Kami knows.

Happy To Be Me - Picture Book - The Hairy One Who's afraid of the Hairy One? Not me! It's the story we love best! We've heard this story before but we want to hear it just once more. We know it's scary and we feel prepared. We know it's pretend, so we're not scared.
