Let’s dream of what we can become,

Mother Earth, I am your son.

Food and shelter, climate, water,

Mother Earth, I am your daughter.

Mother Earth is a warm, funny, beautiful collection of nature poems. Written with great sensitivity by multi-award-winning poet and author Libby Hathorn and with superb illustrations by talented artist and illustrator Christina Booth, this is a book to treasure and to celebrate our precious environment – for kids and families, students and teachers alike.

Libby Hathorn remains one of Australia’s leading children’s authors because she continually writes to capture the ideas and issues that are critical for children in their current contexts – Sue Beveridge, education adviser

A beautifully fused picture book that I would highly recommend for readers of any age – Reading Time, CBCA Magazine, for A Soldier, a Dog and a Boy

A wonderful inclusion for any library, classroom or home – ReadPlus for A Soldier, a Dog and a Boy
