| Summary |
For many Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children, ear and hearing trouble starts before they turn two. It’s a time when they are learning to listen, yarn and communicate. These skills are important for building relationships, learning culture and learning in school. Davinder Hart is an Indigenous artist who was born in Perth, Western Australia. His connections spread far and wide over to west of NSW. He pays his respects to his grandfather (Nudgee) Paul Gordon and his uncles, for with their knowledge passed down he can tell stories through his paintings. The book is designed to support parents, educators and carers to engage with children about what they can hear, encouraging interaction on hearing and promoting dialogue in communities on hearing health. |
