Bruce Pascoe’s iconic non-fiction classicDark Emusignificantly shifted the way Australians relate to their environment.Young Dark Emubrought together the research and compelling first person accounts of his work into a book for younger readers.

He allows the reader to see Australia as it was before Europeans arrived a land of cultivated farming areas, productive fisheries, permanent homes, and an understanding of the environment and its natural resources that supported thriving villages across the continent.Young Dark Emu – A Truer Historyasks young readers to consider a different version of Australia’s history pre-European colonisation.
