Going for Pippies
SHORTLISTED, 2026 SPEECH PATHOLOGY BOOK OF THE YEAR AWARDS, ABORIGINAL AND TORRES STRAIT ISLANDER CHILDREN'S BOOK
NOTABLE, 2026 CHILDREN'S BOOK COUNCIL OF AUSTRALIA BOOK OF THE YEAR AWARDS, PICTURE BOOK OF THE YEAR
Going for Pippies is a beautifully illustrated children’s picture book that welcomes readers to a First Nations narrative about family, culture, traditions and a way of life. Join Wilaraan and his family as they venture on Country to collect pippies for dinner.
At the very heart of the story is a family outing, demonstrating how generations come together to teach and share knowledge, such as the practice of gathering pippies. This reinforces the importance of intergenerational learning and the passing down of cultural wisdom.
Praise for Going for Pippies
"Going for Pippies is an engaging, authentic and visually stunning book that will be a rich addition to the shelves of homes, classrooms and libraries..."
- Emma Nield, Books+Publishing
"...a simple story that is accessible for young readers..."
- Bronwyn Joseph, CBCA Reading Time
"...the best books for little ones offer ways that they can connect to the story, and while they might not relate directly to Wilaaran’s memory, they will have a story of their own to tell. That, alone, makes it an essential addition to the collection."
