World Kid Lit Month 2020: Day 30

Day 30: Gavin Bishop, master of image as a subtle political statement.

Aotearoa: the New Zealand story (2017).

Wildlife of Aotearoa (2019). 



The house that Jack built: being the account of Jack Bull, Esq. who sailed from these shores to a land far away to live there and trade with the natives of that said land 12th day of September, 1798 (1999). 

This is a tour de force. The use of a traditional English nursery rhyme to tell the story of colonisation and raupatu (confiscation) is stunning. The messages in the images requires intense study and examination.
