Abstract
"...The stories that comprise this anthology are the stories of heroes. Not so much the Hollywood hero or the heroes of dimestore paperbacks, comic books or television but the everyday heroes that walk among us, touching us with the simple radiance of their lives. Heroes are seen through the eyes of Aboriginal children. The heroes who play the roles of mother, father, aunt, uncle, grandfather, grandmother, chief, artist, and friend. Accessible heroes whose magic is their proximity itself"--Back cover.
