A FIRST BOOK OF NATURE PB – NICOLA DAVIES-MARK HEARLD

An exquisite book that evokes a child s first experience of nature. From beachcombing to stargazing, from watching squirrels, ducks and worms to making berry crumble or a winter bird feast, this is a remarkable book – part poetry, part scrapbook of recipes, facts and fragments – and a glorious reminder that the natural world is on our doorstep waiting to be discovered. Mark Hearld s pictures beautifully reproduce the colours of the seasons on woodfree paper, and Nicola Davies lyrical words capture the simple loveliness that is everywhere, if only we can look.
