The Burnt Stick

Rating:
Summary: Very good insite into stolen generation.
Review: The Burnt Stick is about what most of the stolen generation went through when they were taken away. The tribes were desperate to keep their children from the authroities. I think that this leaves the readers with the ever growing knowledge that the Abourignies of Australia have been terribly mis-treated in the past and still are in the present.

Summary: Stollen Generation
Review: This story is about a young boy named John. He is Aboriginal but has light coloured skin because his father was white. His mother becomes very worried when their is word of a man coming to take all the white children from the Aboriginal camp, to teach the children the white ways. The mother decides to use a burnt stick to make her sons skin dark. Will this work? This story touched me and i think it will touch you or your childs. the story is wonderfull and so are the illustrations.
