A beautifully designed anthology of heartfelt letters written by First Nations men about life, masculinity, love, culture and racism
Dear Sonshares heartfelt letters written by First Nations men about life, masculinity, love, culture and racism.
Along with his own vivid and poignant prose and poetry, author and editor Thomas Mayor invites 13 contributors to write a letter to their son, father or nephew, bringing together a range of perspectives that offers the greatest celebration of First Nations manhood.
This beautifully designed anthology comes at a time when First Nations peoples are starting to break free of derogatory stereotypes and find solace in their communities and cultures. Yet, each contributor also has one thing in common: they all have a relative who has been terribly wronged – enslaved, raped and dispossessed – because of their Aboriginality.
Featuring letters from Noel Pearson, Stan Grant, Troy Cassar-Daley, John Liddle, Charlie King, Joe Williams, Yessie Mosby, David Wirrpanda, Joel Bayliss, Daniel James, Jack Latimore, Daniel Morrison and Tim Sculthorpe.
A gentle and loving book for families from anywhere in the world. Artwork by proud Kaurna/Ngarrindjeri/Narrunga/Italian Australian artist Tony Wilson, with illustrations and design by Gamilaraay designer Tristan Schultz of Relative Creative.

Thomas Mayor is a Zenadth Kes (Torres Strait Islander) man living on Larrakia country in Darwin, Australia. He is the father of five children, with a 16-year age difference between the oldest and the youngest. At age 17, Thomas became a wharf labourer, leading him to become a union official for the Maritime Union of Australia in his early thirties. Thomas has been a tireless campaigner for the First Nations proposals of Voice Treaty Truth, presented to the Australian people in the Uluru Statement from the Heart. His first two books are Finding the Heart of the Nation and children’s book Finding Our Heart, both about the Uluru Statement.
