Torres Family, Big and True

Torres Family, Big and True is part of the Meriam Mir Learning Book collection and introduces children to family, community and Meriam Mir language.

The story provides a warm entry point into Torres Strait Islander culture while giving children opportunities to encounter language through story, art and song.

Pronunciation support is provided through the Meriam Mir Learning Book resources, including video demonstrations by Elder Adimabo Noah and pronunciation guidance from linguist Nick Piper.
