To celebrate Reconciliation Week AND the first release of our Indigenous resources created in partnership with Magabala Books, we are giving two primary students in Australia the opportunity to win a stack of books published by Magabala!

In Mad Magpie, written and illustrated by Gregg Dreise, Guluu is an angry magpie who is being teased by a gang of butcher birds. The more he is teased, the angrier he becomes! How will he learn to overcome his anger?

Dreise has designed an incredible colouring sheet exclusive to Reading Australia to accompany the upcoming Mad Magpie resource. It is the perfect activity for Reconciliation Week and your students are sure to love it!
