Murphy’s text is simple but not simplistic, and the book will suit parents or teachers reading aloud to young children: with both narrative and informational appeal, it will contribute well to school libraries and is perfect for stimulating classroom discussion about place, beliefs, traditions and human relationships to the environment.
The stunning illustrations are a wonderfully evocative representation of the landscape. It’s a lovely book for young children, but older children will also enjoy it immensely.
