Main Abija- My Grandad is an autobiographical picture book, written and illustrated by Karen Rogers from Ngukurr. Main Abija is a tribute to a much-loved grandfather, and a celebration of Aboriginal culture, country and the circle of life. The story is told in Kriol and English.

From the Author:
This book has the memories I had of my grandfather from when I was small until he left us. He taught me many things about culture and country. I'm happy to pass this story on to my family and to put it in this book.

My grandfather touched my heart. I hope everybody can have a chance to love one grandparent that way.'

With luscious artwork and a lyrical text in Kriol and English, celebrated Ngukurr Artsist Karen Rogers evokes the world of her childhood in a remote part of the Northern Territory. Her story is a beautiful celebration of a special relationship, showing how culture is passed on from generation to generation.
