Very proud of this book and working with terrific people made the process magical! @LarrikinH
One of our 2022 bestsellers, Heartbeat of the Land written by Cathy Freeman & Coral Vass, and illustrated by Tannya Harricks. Open the pages and you’ll see why this is one of the most beautiful picture books. The message of listening to the land is an important one.

So saddened to hear the passing of such a champion for First Nations people and all humanity. I will remember (Uncle) Archie Roach as such a courageous story teller and remarkable musician! You’ll never be forgotten. Rest in Peace. Sincerest condolences to all the family.
