More about the book:
Building on Tace Stevens’ commissioned series, We Were Just Little Boys tells the story of the Survivors of Kinchela Boys Home. With written contributions from surviving Uncles, and writing from the CEO of the Kinchela Boys Home Aboriginal Corporation, this book is collaborative, grief-filled and advocates for the need for deep healing.
Tace was the winner of the Tall Poppy Press Open Call in 2024.
The book was made possible with support from Kinchela Boys Home Aboriginal Corporation, Magnum Foundation and the World Monuments Fund.
50% of the sale price is paid to the Kinchela Aboriginal Boys Home Corporation.
