WINNER OF THE KESTIN INDIGENOUS ILLUSTRATOR AWARD

SHORTLISTED, 2021 AUSTRALIAN BOOK INDUSTRY AWARDS, SMALL PUBLISHERS' CHILDRENS BOOK OF THE YEAR

This gentle story set in the rugged Australian bush is about a small calf who becomes separated from his family. The little calf is alone and simply wants his mother, sisters and brothers. He can see other animals, and after running to the river, manages to ask some horses if they are his family. The calf’s family have been taken away in the back of a noisy truck. So begins the little calf’s journey to find his family.

In Found we share the calf’s point of view in an evocative story, accompanied by stunning illustrations.
