Stand proud
Hynes, Nicho (Nicholas)2024
Book
The inspiring story of rugby league star Nicho Hynes, who grew up to find his passion when he found his people. A beautiful and moving picture book for every young reader who has ever attended a Harmony Day celebration and grappled with questions of identity, family and home. As a kid, Nicho knows a few things to be true. Everyone calls him Nicho, instead of 'Nicholas'. He loves the sport of rugby league. And he is Aboriginal - but he hasn't always known what that means. Then one day at school, Nicho sees his friend covered in white paint and practising a special dance. Nicho asks him to teach him the dance too . . . and that's when everything changes.
