Where the Mustard Fields meet the Southern Cross

By Manmeet Bedi

In 1885, a young man left the golden mustard fields of Punjab to begin a new life beneath Australia's Southern Cross.

Years later, in 1947, his grandson Teja followed - carrying the same courage, faith, and hope that had guided his family before him.

Generations later, Teja's grandson rediscovers their story - one of bravery, belonging, and the search for home.

Where the Mustard Fields Meet the Southern Cross is a beautifully illustrated children's book about family, courage, and the ties that connect us across time and place.

Perfect for families, schools, and libraries, this heartfelt story celebrates Australia's multicultural spirit and the courage of those who helped build it.
