Critics Review

A warm and inspiring invitation to put down our phones, pick up a pencil and start really looking at the beauty all around us.

The health of our planet and the people that depend upon it are being run down because of our collective blindness toward nature. Re-engaging and connecting people with the natural world is a vital prerequisite for a secure future, and this lovely little book provides one wonderful gateway to that. – Tony Juniper CBE, environmentalist and chair of Natural England

In a time of uncertainty, fear and gloom this is a book that shines bright like a diamond.

So bring on the green sketching revolution. – Andy Brown, Head of Sustainability, Anglian Water Group
