Sharing is a tender and thoughtful First Nations children's picture book by Boon Wurrung Elder Aunty Fay Muir and award-winning author Sue Lawson, beautifully illustrated by Darug artist-educator Leanne Mulgo Watson.

The story offers a gentle reminder that when we share, there is plenty for everyone.

But sharing isn't only about giving away things. Through everyday activities and First Nations perspectives, Sharing explores how people can share knowledge, stories, time, food, skills, care and connection with one another.

The story also introduces the important idea of taking only what is needed from Country and caring for the land and each other. Children can see how gathering, preparing food, making tools and working together are connected to community, culture and responsibility.

With warm, evocative illustrations and simple, thoughtful language, Sharing encourages young readers to consider generosity, cooperation and what it means to care for the people and world around them.

As the third book in the award-winning Our Place series, Sharing is a wonderful addition to family, early learning, school and library collections.
