Author/Illustrator: Jeannie Baker
Summary:
"The plant rosy dock is not native to Australia. A newcomer who settled in the desert area of central Australia planted it in her garden. After each rare period of rain the desert blossoms, and over the years the seeds of this plant have blown their way across south, central and western Australia. Full-color collage illustrations."
Why We Loved It:
- I'll say something I never thought I'd say: I enjoyed the collage illustrations of this book. I've never liked collages as children's book illustrations before, but Jeannie Baker has won me over! These are phenomenal.
- I like the way this story is told very simply.
- The snippet of Science in the author's note is very interesting. (I know, I know. . . I love all author's notes. It's just so fascinating to have a little peak into the story behind the story.)
