Booklist: Stolen Generation – Seven Little Australians & Counting

The Stolen Generation

Explaining the how’s and why’s of the Stolen Generation is a tough topic to discuss with your children. It’s extremely helpful to use books when tackling this conversation. Books create a space to discuss and ponder, to begin to grapple with the complexity of issues.

We have here a mix of picture and chapter books.

The following books are mostly in print and your library will likely have many of them. We are not expecting you to read all of these books. Work within your local library and inter-library loans.

You may choose to devote several weeks to this topic, or you may just choose to ‘dip your toes in’ and select a few books.

Be guided by how much of this complex topic your child can handle.

We have displayed the books suggestions in a visual grid below.

Below the visual grid the books are organised under age headings.
