Robert Macfarlane and Jackie Morris introduce us to some strong images of nature. As we turn the pages we can hear the wind swirling in the trees, we can feel the cold softness of the snow and we can hear the cry of the birds.
The verses make an extraordinary use of language.
The book is very tactile and is one anyone would be proud to have on their bookshelf.
It is longer than standard picture book though is divided into “chapters” with a few pages being dedicated to a particular animal or plant.
The illustrations are superb and would provide a good talking point.
Absolutely gorgeous.
