NOTABLES, 2021 CHILDREN'S BOOK COUNCIL OF AUSTRALIA BOOK OF THE YEAR AWARDS, EARLY CHILDHOOD
LONGLISTED, 2021 INDIE BOOK AWARDS, CHILDREN'S BOOKS
LONGLISTED, 2021 AUSTRALIAN BOOK INDUSTRY AWARDS, CHILDREN'S PICTURE BOOK OF THE YEAR
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.
Praise for Respect
"...Respect is a centrepiece for education and should be in every classroom."
– Miss Gibbs
"Lisa Kennedy’s illustrations are luscious and vivid – complementing Fay Stewart-Muir’s and Sue Lawson’s pared back text."
– Marjorie Lewis-Jones, The South Sydney Herald
"Respect is beautifully written...the vibrant and beautiful illustration by Lisa Kennedy captivate the reader. Respect truly is a work of art that you will want to have on display in your classroom."
– Karlie Naulty, Glam Adelaide
“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.”
– Liz Patterson, CBCA Reading Time
“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.”
