Critics Review
This is a powerful book to educate the young about a productive area which could be named a ‘desert jungle.’ For grandparents, teachers and librarians, this is an excellent story to share with young students who will likely not have heard of this particular region. The artwork and photographs are striking and provide lots of subjects to discuss: geography, history, nature, relationships with family, walking and tablets! * Books for Keeps *
A lovely story, incorporating the importance of nature and how it needs protecting. * The School Librarian *
