Indigenous children’s books aim to preserve traditional language
DateSeptember 16, 2013 - 11:16P AUSBrodie Owen

Students from the remote Kimberley school of Yakanarra are the nation's
newest authors, having launched two books at the National Library of
Australia on Monday.


The books, *A Yakanarra Day* and *The Yakanarra Dogs*, are part of the
Indigenous Literacy Foundation project, and aim to connect Yakanarra
students to their traditional culture.


The books capture the students' creative capacity, reflecting life in
Western Australia's diverse Kimberley region and providing insight into an
indigenous community through the lens of a child.
