How I Go to School, Sharon Galleguillos, Perri-Ann Kelly, 2002
My daughters both enjoyed this picture book which is about how other Australian (Indigenous) kids go to school. Their focus was on whether they walked, took the bus, took a ferry, etc. They did not seem to notice that all the kids in the photographs were Aboriginal, being too busy explaining the different modes of transport that they personally use and comparing them.
The co-authors are Perri-Ann Kelly and Sharon Galleguillos, who was one of the first Indigenous graduates in the Certificate of Teaching program at Kedron Park Teachers' College, Brisbane. She is currently Deputy Chair of the Aboriginal Education Council (NSW) Inc. Sharon also holds a Bachelor of Education (Primary) from the University of Sydney. I can’t find any information on Perri-Ann Kelly.
The text was a nice read for a Grade Two, and my only quibble is that a map showing where the kids lived would have been an asset. My answers were clearly too vague. They were unimpressed with my description of Prince of Wales Island as being a little island in the north of the country.
