Yuluwirri: A First Nations colouring book

by  Lakkari Pitt

Find joy and happiness applying the rainbow to this modern colouring book that celebrates culture and Country.

Yuluwirri means rainbow in the Gamilaroi Ularoi Language, and it's also a symbol of joy, beauty and connection to the natural world. In this stunning colouring book for both First Nations people and allies alike, artist Lakkari Pitt shares artworks and stories of her culture, family, community and connection to her people's land.

The range of beautiful artworks are displayed across three chapters. Gunimaa means Mother Earth, and in this chapter, Lakkari explores the movement, essence and stories of her Country. The second chapter is Warranggal Yinarr, which means strong and powerful woman, where the artworks celebrate the traits and qualities that Lakkari admires in women. In the third chapter, Dhiiyaan (family), Lakkari's artworks emphasise how families are built around community, and how First Nations people are nurtured by their kindship systems.

Lakkari offers helpful colouring tips for every artwork, and there's a glossary of Gamilaroi Ularoi words at the front of the book.

Thick paper means you can use your favourite colouring pens or pencils on every page.
