"A stunning book that is also an invaluable introduction to how to look at the world around us. [...]Emily Sutton's beautiful illustrations bring the natural world sharply into focus making it both delightful and accessible." April 2017 Picture Book of the Month * LoveReading, Julia Eccleshare *This is one of those special books with cross-over appeal. Tiny children will adore the illustrations, slightly older ones will learn fascinating facts and readers of any age will be moved by the message that we need to take better care of our beautiful environment. This is a gorgeously presented book. The cover is simply beautiful and every single page is a riot of vibrant colour as the author and illustrator take us on a journey around the world.
