Nan, Where Did We Come From?

Nan, Where Did We Come From? is the second book in the heartfelt Nan & Me series by Natasha Weribone, a proud Gamilaraay woman and cultural educator. Through gentle conversation and warm illustrations, this story introduces young readers to the concept of the Dreaming - the deep spiritual and cultural foundation of First Nations peoples.

In this beautifully written tale, a curious little girl sits with her Nan under the night sky, asking questions about where their people came from. As the stars shine above them, Nan lovingly explains the meaning of Ancestors, connection to Country, and the many different Mobs and languages across Australia. The story highlights how First Nations culture is not one story, but many - like different countries within one strong and shared spirit.

Perfect for ages 5-10, this book helps educators, families, and communities begin respectful conversations about First Nations beliefs, identity, and cultural diversity. It encourages understanding, inclusion, and pride in Aboriginal culture, all told through the safe and familiar bond between Nan and her granddaughter.

Nan, Where Did We Come From? is a powerful cultural resource that promotes truth-telling, respect, and belonging - a must-have for schools, libraries, and homes across the country.
