Children's books about Australia Day/Invasion Day/Survival Day

[Indadhanu]

Dos anyone know any books with the focus on any or all of the above views on 'Australia Day'?

I'm doing an assignment for uni and decided to use this as a stimulus. I've thought about a few different ways of presenting it, and I think I want to use a book, so just trying to find a book or two that I can use, with different angles on Australia Day, from Indigenous and non-Indigenous perspectives.

If anyone has any knowledge about some art from these perspectives, or a kid-friendly poem, feel free to suggest those too.

TIA

If you google Celebrating Australia:A History of Australia Day By Dr Elizabeth Kwan that might have some info for you.

Not exactly about Australia Day but google 'My Place' by Nadia Wheatley or 'My Place' by Sally Morgan. They are completely different books but both present a history of Australia in very different ways.

Not sure if that helps much, but both are very good and include something of an aboriginal perspective (though Sally Morgan's book is written for young teenagers so it might be a bit more than what you are looking for). Nadia Wheatley's book is a picture book but doesn't focus particularly on Australia - just how Australia has changed over 20 decades.

ETA: Just a little blurb about Nadia Wheatley -

Her works often focus on "the difficulties faced by Aborigines or non-English-speaking newcomers to Australia, ... environmental issues and the effects of social change”.[1] She has been involved in developing projects to raise children's awareness about their environment and local history.
