Saplings is a powerful collection of hilarious and heartbreaking stories from young people navigating the justice system. Yani wants to go to the Easter Show, Kai longs for home, Shanika wants her mum back, and Lachlan just wants his noodles—but the system keeps cutting them down.

Honest, moving and unforgettable, Saplings celebrates resilience, survival and the voices of our most vulnerable.
