Ellie Laing is a communications professional and former political advisor and journalist, who lives on the lands of the Cammeraygal people on the northern beaches of Sydney with her husband and two sons.
When Ellie’s eldest son came home from preschool reciting Acknowledgements of Country and singing Aboriginal lullabies, she was inspired to collaborate with Adam Goodes on a series of books aimed at helping families with young children to talk about Australia’s First Nations history.
Together, Ellie and Adam have written Ceremony: Welcome to Our Country, Somebody’s Land: Welcome to Our Country and the upcoming Back On Country: Welcome to Our Country.
