On February 28th 2014 we launched both these books at Parliament House in Darwin. Thanks to everyone who turned up.
Thanks particularly to Jacky Phillips, who was a 13 year old Sunshine Girl when we wrote 'Tammy Damulkurra'. She was willing to get up and talk about the writing process and say nice things like - it was the reason the girls wanted to come to school each day.
This is not only a nice thing to say, but demonstrates the power and value of story telling in education.
