"Fascinating facts meet superb storytelling in this beautiful picture book that celebrates nature and inspires conservational behaviour."
December 2022 Book of the Month
Given that the youngest nature-loving children are aware of the troubled state of planet Earth and its wildlife residents, Dawn Casey’s Happy Stories for Nature Lovers picture book presents a perfectly-pitched feast of information, inspiration and hope. Coupled with Domenique Serfontein’s beautiful illustrations, this is children’s narrative non-fiction at its most joyous — a dazzling blend of story-telling and environmental info, with a helpful “What you can do” checklist rounding things off.
Set in the context of the connectedness of nature, and how many people around the world feel a love of nature “in their bellies, their bodies and their bones”, Casey explains that many people are also “giving their time, creativity and care to make a more beautiful, healthy, peaceful world.”
Among the stories of hope shared in the book, we read of Anna and her creation of The Children’s Forest, and how a depleted population of humpback whales has been brought back from the brink in the South Atlantic. We discover how the International Dark Skies Association is helping green turtles, how red kites have been restored to England and Wales, and how tiger numbers are on the rise in India.
Written in lucid, poetic style, Happy Stories for Nature Lovers is a must-have for young lovers of nature and wildlife.
This cheerful compendium of true, narrative non-fiction stories show that when we give it a little bit of space and maybe a gentle helping hand, nature comes bouncing back!
