13.01.2022 The ‘Took the Children away’ book by Archie Roach AM is back in print. In this special 30th anniversary edition, Archie’s iconic lyrics sit alongside evocative illustrations by his beloved soulmate and musical collaborator, Ruby Hunter. Also included are Archie’s recollections of his family and rare historical photographs. One dark day, when Archie was just two years old, big black government cars came to his home at Framlingham Aboriginal Mission in southwest Victoria. The...y forcibly took Archie away from his mother, father and family everything he had ever known. They took away thousands of other Aboriginal children, right around Australia. Powerful people had decided that these children would be better off living and learning all the white man’s ways. Frightened and alone, they grew up in institutions and foster homes. They became known as the Stolen Generations. Ruby Hunter was one of those children, too, only eight when she was taken from the loving arms of her grandmother living on the Coorong in South Australia. Archie and Ruby met and fell in love as homeless teenagers and Archie started writing songs to help ease his pain. Archie’s songs, loved by fans worldwide, tell a powerful story of survival and renewal, and the healing power of music. @simonschusterau @ericawagnerartist #redkangaroobooks #australianbooks #bookreadingtime #shoplocalNT #australianbookstagram #alicespringsnt #toddmall l#australiaisreading #aussiereads #kidsstories #independentbookstores #localbookshop #localbooks #loveyourbookshop #bookstore #bookshop #centralaustralia #NorthernTerritory #nonfiction #realbooks #hardbackbook #iconicsong #stolengeneration #history #archieroach #theytookthechildrenaway #indigenousstories.

10.01.2022 With my little eye by Sandra Hogan Growing up in the 1950s, the three Doherty children were trained by their parents to memorise car number plates, to spot unusual behaviour on the street and, most important of all, to avoid drawing attention to themselves. The children became unwitting foot soldiers in Australia's battle against Soviet infiltration in the Cold War. They attended political rallies, stood watch on houses owned by communist sympathisers, and insinuated them...selves into the UFO Society. In 1956 the Doherty family went on a beach holiday with Vladimir and Evdokia Petrov, the famous Soviet defectors, who were hiding from Soviet assassins. Dudley and Joan Doherty swore their children to secrecy, and for decades, they didn't even discuss among themselves the work they did for ASIO. @allenandunwin With My Little Eye is a poignant and very funny account of a peculiar childhood in 1950s suburban Australia. #redkangaroobooks #indigenousbooks #australianbooks #bookreadingtime #indigenousbookstagram #shoplocalnt #australianstory #australianbooks #australianbookstagram #australianfiction #alicespringsnt #toddmall #readaustralian #australiaisreading #indigenousvoices #aussiereads #independentbookstores #independentbookseller #localbookshop #localbooks

07.01.2022 Good morning everyone, the Australia Reads campaign kicked off on 1 November and will continue until 12 November culminating in a communal reading hour around Australia. Some of the wonderful benefits of reading are: *An escape from everyday worries - it apparently reduces stress by 68%... *Books can open up our world and help us learn *After reading, your brain is boosted for days - it is exercise and nourishment for your mind *Books connect us to other people, build empathy and make us feel less lonely. Take the pledge for Australia Reads! I will read for an hour on Thursday 12 November. I will read books in any shape, form or size. I will read, whether with bumps, letters, pictures, sound. I will read to myself or someone else.

05.01.2022 For our last Red Kanga bookclub meeting this year, we are reading Lucky's by Andrew Pippos. This is Andrew Pippos first novel and it has been getting a lot of very good reviews. Our next zoom meeting will be Tuesday, 8 December at 7pm. We have changed the day due to the many events happening around town . @macmillanaus @andrewpippos Lucky's is a story of family. A story about migration. It is also about a man called Lucky.... His restaurant chain. A fire that changed everything. A New Yorker article which might save a career. The mystery of a missing father. An impostor who got the girl. An unthinkable tragedy. A roll of the dice. And a story of love - lost, sought and won again (at last). @macmillanaus @andrewpippos . . #redkangaroobooks #indigenousbooks #australianbooks #bookreadingtime #indigenousbookstagram #shoplocalnt #shopearly #australianstory #australianbooks #australianbookstagram #australianfiction #alicespringsnt #toddmall #readaustralian #australiaisreading #bookchoice #indigenousvoices #aussiereads #bookclubbook #independentbookstores #independentbookseller #localbookshop #localbooks #loveyourbookshop #australianauthors

03.01.2022 Top 10 this week! Thanks to everyone who bought from our bookstore this week and for supporting our small business and buying local. Traditionally February is our quietest month of the year but this year is different in a really positive way! This time last year I was wondering if we would survive, if we would stay open, but thanks to the buy local initiative and our fabulous customers we are still here and trading. We still need to get through this year but I am positive ...about the year ahead and we have really appreciated all the words of encouragement, the coffees, the chocolates, the time volunteered and the support and love over the last 12 months. Wishing you all a wonderful bookish weekend xx #redkangaroobooks #indigenousbooks #australianbooks #bookreadingtime #indigenousbookstagram #shoplocalnt #australianstory #australianbooks #australianbookstagram #australianfiction #alicespringsnt #toddmall #readaustralian #australiaisreading #indigenousvoices #aussiereads #independentbookstores #independentbookseller #localbookshop #localbooks #loveyourbookshop #topsellers #top10
