'An inspiring poetry collection which will encourage children to take interest in and relish the nature they see all around them and to consider the future of the earth.'
All together this is a great selection, great for casual or purposeful reading, great as a teaching resource, great as inspiration for further efforts.
Poems that span the globe encouraging all readers to look at the good and the bad aspects of it make this a rich and original anthology. Twinning the themes of the wonders of the world and the horrors of how we despoil it means that the poems are both celebratory and angry. That leads to an interesting contradiction of styles and moods. Piet Groblers vibrant illustrations bring the feel of different countries to life.

It is a strong collection and Piet Grobler s watercolour illustrations beautifully complement the poems.
