Nan, Why Don't I Look Like You? is a beautifully illustrated children's book that gently explores Aboriginal identity, skin tone, and the legacy of the Stolen Generations through the bond between a young girl and her Nan.
When a light-skinned Aboriginal girl is teased at school for not "looking Aboriginal," she turns to her Nan for answers. What follows is a tender and empowering conversation about culture, bloodlines, and the strength and resilience of our Ancestors. Together, they navigate questions of identity, culture, belonging, and pride-proving that culture runs deeper than skin colour.
Written from a place of truth and love, this book opens the door for conversations about Aboriginal heritage, intergenerational wisdom, and celebrating who we are.
