Come Together Again is the second delightful picture book from Isaiah Firebrace for children aged 5 and up. It explores First Nations culture through a celebration of music, song and dance.

Music, song and dance brings people together, creating connections. For First Nations People, it is the heart of culture and community, holding knowledge, stories and tradition. For Isaiah, music is a huge part of who he is and in this book he shares his passion.

Come Together Again teaches young readers about the integral role music and performance have played in 60,000 years of First Nations history and culture. Learn about the yidaki (didgeridoo) and how it makes its sounds or how leaves can whistle. Be introduced to First Nations singers in pop, country and opera music. Discover dancers in the styles of contemporary, ballet and hip-hop.

Collaborating once again with Mununjali and Fijian artist Jaelyn Biumaiwai, Isaiah takes us on a musical learning journey through ceremonial history, instrument creation, and cultural beliefs and practices.
