This series will help children develop an understanding of the various cultural groups that have contributed to the Australian identity. Each book presents information from the point of view of a child who is a member of the particular cultural group and explores his or her experiences as they relate to everyday life: special customs and traditions, festivals and foods, family life, continuing ties with the original country, to name a few. Various text types are used throughout the series along with visual literacy elements to reinforce and emphasis these skills. Features include: a map showing where different dialects are spoken; a story from the Great Wall of China; Chinese recipes for students to make; how to make tangrams; how to play the game of piaji; a detailed glossary that explains new and difficult words.
