Leatherwood Books
The world of books opens many doors: to the past and
to the world around us. They are essential tools for
getting to know ourselves and our neighbours. They can
help our children build our future.
     And, let’s face it, they’re just downright fun to read!
Here at Leatherwood Books we have made a selection of 
what we think are some of the best books available for 
children today, by the best children’s authors 
we know, both from Australia and around the world.
We want you as parents, home educators, teachers and 
librarians, to get these books into the hands of 
children everywhere!
Our hope is that our selection of books will delight 
and inspire you and the children in your care, as you
learn and grow together.

My Story (Aus) - Our Enemy, My Friend: The Diary of Emma Shelldrake, Adelaide Hills, 1915

My Story (Aus) - Our Enemy, My Friend: The Diary of Emma Shelldrake, Adelaide Hills, 1915
Author:
Jenny Blackman
Pages: 169

Twelve year old Emma lives in the tiny village of Wirreebilla in the Adelaide Hills. The area was originally established by German settlers in the 1830’s, but now it is the middle of the Great War, and the German families in the village are officially The Enemy. Emma’s best friend Hannelore, from a German family, becomes an object of scorn and the worst kind of intolerance at the village school. A thoughtful and timely look at the history of intolerance in our community.
