The Indigenous Literacy Foundation is working in partnership with Education Queensland on a new initiative called I Dream, launched in 50 schools in Queensland in March 2011.

I DREAM: Treasures at My Place focused on the themes of home, family and country, examining why these are important to a sense of wellbeing to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. Children worked with their elders and with school support to produce a body of work in poetry, prose, song, dance or storytelling and some of these will be recorded online.

ILF has gifted a beautiful set of books to each school to use as a reference for Treasures at My Place. These books provided an invaluable resource, showing how other writers have written about their lives and where they come from. These titles include: The Arrival by Shaun Tan, Stellaluna by Janell Cannon, My Island Home by Neil Murray, My Home in Kakadu by Jane Christenson, How Frogmouth Found Her Home by Ambelin Kwaymullina and My Place by Sally Morgan.
