Full Description
A poignant and moving story about reclaiming language and the enduring power of love, told though the eyes of a little girl on a quest to learn her grandfather's hidden first language.
When Myra stays with Pop it feels like home.
Myra loves Pop's house. She loves the old photos on the walls, the clutter down the hall and the time they spend together.
One day, when Myra overhears Pop speaking a different language on the phone, she asks if he will teach her just one word. But Pop refuses.
As Myra discovers Pop's painful past, they'll take steps towards reclaiming what was taken, together.
Inspired by the author's own experiences, One Word is one little girl's story about discovering her grandfather's first Aboriginal language, and his journey towards reclaiming that language.
