A gorgeous picture book about the healing power of nature, and birds in particular, from the award winning author of The Starling's Song.
Over a year of walks through the fields, woods and wetlands near her home, Octavie Wolters shares her thoughts and worries with blackbirds and magpies, swallows and oystercatchers, and receives their wisdom in return.
This Will Last Forever is a gorgeously illustrated memoir of a year in nature, a journey through the seasons and a reminder that comfort and enlightenment can be found in the everyday wonder of the wild world.
--Praise for The Starling's Song * -- *
A sublime journey of discovery... This is a book about beauty and where to find it. And thanks to the exquisite black-and-white artwork that sings from every page it is also one of the most beautiful picture books you're likely to see for a while... * The Times, Children's Book of the Week *
I love this picture book... its big size and bold pictures, each of the beautiful messages of the birds, and how they are all remembered and valued by the starling. So gorgeous -- Sophie Anderson, author of The House With Chicken Legs
As a starling sings of the world's beauty, other birds intertwine their songs with his in this enchanting, award-winning Dutch picture book for 4 or 5 * Guardian *
I got lost in the texture of the images and the rhythm of the words -- Coralie Bickford-Smith
