Us Karen - The Book

"Us Karen" was written by Richard Dove and illustrated by the talented Karen artist, Tha Do, to tell the amazing story of the Karen people's journey, as refugees, from Burma to Australia. The book was published as a Wyndham Community and Education Centre project and was funded by the Wyndham City Council. "Us Karen" was launched at Wyndham City Council on the 22nd of February, 2012 before an audience of over 300 people. The Prime Minister of Australia, Julia Gillard, kindly supported this book launch by recording this speech from her office, in Canberra. The book has already sold 1,000 copies.
