Author Thomas Mayor's Journey to Australia

Thomas Mayor's journey to Australia to spread the message of the Uluru Statement has been a moving experience. When he visited schools, he was surprised by the children's knowledge and enthusiasm. Their generation is the first to learn Indigenous languages, appreciate Indigenous knowledge of the seasons, and learn the truth of our history. Some children even knew more about the Australian Constitution than most adults!

The expression, "If only we could see the world through a child's eyes," is brought to life in this picture book for 5- to 10-year-olds. It is an important part of the people's movement for Voice, Treaty, and Truth, helping children and their families to think about why substantive constitutional change is needed.

Featuring colourful illustrations, this book demonstrates that the heart of the nation can be found through an appreciation of First Nations culture. Only then will a collective definition of Australian national identity become possible.
