Our gift-giving guide for the conscious gift-giver

1: Clever Crow by Nina Lawrence, illustrated by Bronwyn Bancroft
Clever Crow is an endearing and witty tale that follows the exploits of a hungry and very clever crow. Crow searches in the bush for food but he can find none.

8: Born Into This by Adam Thompson
The stories in Born into This throw light on a world of unique cultural practice and perspective, from Indigenous rangers trying to instil some pride in wayward urban teens on the harsh islands off the coast of Tasmania, to those scraping by on the margins of white society, railroaded into complex and compromised decisions. To this mix Adam Thompson manages to bring humour, pathos and occasionally a sly twist as his characters confront racism, untimely funerals, and classroom politics. Overhanging all of these things, is the discomforting, burgeoning awareness for both white and black Australia, of the inexorable damage and disappearance of the remnant natural world.
