    The story weaves themes of courage, kindness, and resilience with an appreciation for Australia’s history. Noah, a lovable and compassionate dog, dreams of becoming a hero like his owner’s grandfather, an Anzac veteran. Inspired by stories shared through photos of Grandpa (ACHASSK013 – Foundation Year, Humanities and Social Sciences), Noah finds daily motivation to use his strength—kindness—to help others (ACPPS001, ACPPS015 – Foundation to Year 2, Health and Physical Education).

    The story also touches on the importance of commemorating past events, such as Anzac Day, that hold deep meaning for communities (ACHASSK012 – Foundation Year, Humanities and Social Sciences) and highlights a historical site dedicated to honouring Anzac soldiers (ACHASSK045 – Year 2, Humanities and Social Sciences). Through vibrant illustrations and an engaging narrative, Noah: The Dog of the Anzac Spirit inspires young readers to embody the Anzac values of perseverance and resilience (ACPPS020 – Years 1 and 2, Health and Physical Education), while fostering a connection to Australia’s rich cultural heritage.
