Summary

"Stolen girl is a fictionalised account of the now universally known story of the Stolen Generation and tells of an Aboriginal girl taken from her family and sent to a childrens home. Each night she sings, and dreams of her mother and the life they once shared of sitting on the verandah of their corrugated-iron home, cooking damper and hunting goanna. But each morning she is woken by the bell to the harsh reality of the childrens home, until finally one day she puts into action her carefully crafted plan unlocking the door and taking her first step back toward home."--Goodreads review. Story based on experiences of the author's grandmother of the Gugu Yulangi people of Far North Queensland. Includes brief factual information. A Sophisticated picture book
