I'm Australian
Description
Today, it becomes official. You're Australian, mate!
Experience the wonder and pride of an Australian citizenship ceremony through the eyes of a child.
For a young person, the ceremony can be overwhelming. This heartwarming story gently explains the process, from the Mayor in their robes and the symbolism of the flag, to the importance of the pledge. It captures the nerves, the excitement, and the moment a family officially belongs.
More than just a story, this book is a timeless keepsake celebrating new beginnings and bold hopes for the future. It features a special Commemorative Page to record the date, location, and details of your ceremony, transforming the book into a personal family memento. It also includes the official Australian Citizenship Pledge, sourced from the Australian Citizenship Act 2007, allowing families to practice their promises together at home.
The story is written with a unique and authentic perspective. Author Dr Daniel Griffiths has attended many citizenship ceremonies as a local government councillor, welcoming thousands of new Australians. He combines this official experience with the personal emotion of his own journey, having migrated from Wales.
Whether you are a family preparing for your big day, or looking for the perfect gift to celebrate a new citizen, I'm Australian: My Citizenship Promise is a celebration of the journey to call Australia home.
