Courageous Spirits: Aboriginal Heroes Of Our Children

Library Item


The stories that comprise this anthology are the stories of heroes. Not so much the Hollywood hero or the heroes of dimestore paperbacks, comic books or television but the everyday heroes that walk among us, touching us with the simple radiance of their lives. heroes are seen through the eyes of Aboriginal children. The heroes who play the roles of mother, father, aunt, uncle, grandfather, grandmother, chief, artist and friend. Accessible heroes whose magic is their proximity itself.

Reading these stories is seeing the world through the eyes of a child... A world where example is the greatest virtue. A world where heroes are measured, not by their accomplishments as much as by their day by day acts of living. 

In that light, Aboriginal heroes are many. You will meet a cross section of everyday heroes here. Aboriginal people who by their example...have developed the ability to transform lives.
