A big-hearted story about identity, belonging and wearing your true colours with pride from debut author Jake Gablonski and acclaimed illustrator Samantha Campbell.

'Hello, Bunji,' said the bird. 'My name is Wylla. I know you're feeling upset and a little lost. Come with me, I have something to show you.'

When Bunji runs away from school, he doesn't realise that a rainbow lorikeet is about to take him on an incredible adventure. As he soars over Nitmiluk Gorge and feels the rhythms of the environment supporting him, Bunji discovers that he can be brave if he shows his true colours with pride.

Brave Like Bunji is a story written from the heart by Wiradjuri man Jake Gablonski, beautifully illustrated by acclaimed Dagoman artist Samantha Campbell and set on the traditional lands of the Jawoyn, Dagoman and Wardaman people of the Katherine region of northern Australia.

Perfect for:
- Reading aloud at home or in the classroom
- Introducing concepts of self-esteem, identity and belonging
- Readers who enjoy tales of adventure
- Families who visit the Northern Territory, especially the Katherine region
