The Lost Thing (2000) by Sean Tann
This week I looked at the lost thing by Sean Tann. Being previously unfamiliar with the work of Sean Tann I found this picture incredibly interesting. I loved the pictures that were used throughout the book that were so thought provoking and emotion filled. I really liked the underlying message in this book of something different finding their place in the world. The use of pictures is just incredible in this book.
The Burnt Stick (1994) by Anthony Hill
This again is a picture book but it is completely different to the lost thing. This book uses a lot more words that are accompanied by images. I chose this as I am very interested in aboriginal culture and I was very impressed and moved by the portrayal of this story. It really reinforced the sadness and emotion that the stolen generation would have felt when they were separated from their families and sent to missions. It is a very good book for giving an emotional insight into the stolen generation.
