Meet Izabella Rockafella: ten years old, proudly Australian, and part of a big, beautiful, mixed-up family that her friends call "the United Nations." With heritage stretching from Lebanon to Ireland, Ghana to China, Greece to Chile, Izabellas world is full of cousins, languages, food, footy games and birthday parties - and the occasional playground question about why her family doesnt all look the same. Told in her own warm, funny voice, Izabella Rockafella is a real-life story about growing up proud of every part of who you are. But its more than a story to read; its a book to join in. Throughout its pages, Izabella invites young readers to record their own name, their own familys heritage, their own favourite foods and traditions, turning the book into a treasured keepsake of their own life story. Beautifully photographed and endorsed by His Holiness the Dalai Lama, who called it a book that will bring smiles to lots more faces, this is a celebration of belonging, kindness and the everyday magic of a family that spans the globe.
