Description

White Sundayis a charming own-voices story that welcomes us into the home of a Samoan family, complete with love, food, merrymaking and adventure. A beautifully illustrated, heartwarming story for kids aged 3 and up.

Every year in October, Sina and her family celebrate White Sunday. Its a day when the children are celebrated at church and they get to read, sing, perform and dance in front of the community. Theres also a feast after, and the kids eat first! Maybe this year Uncle Fred will bring his green bananas in coconut cream and Sina will receive plenty of ulas for her performance.

Growing up in a big aiga meant she had lots of adventures and was never short of someone to play with but, on the flip side, she also had to ensure she was being heard above all the commotion!
Litea lives with her partner and her cat, Gordon, in Brisbane, and works in health care.
