Mother Earth is a warm, funny, beautiful collection of nature poems. Written with great sensitivity by multi-award-winning poet and author Libby Hathorn and with superb illustrations by talented artist and illustrator Christina Booth, this is a book to treasure and to celebrate our precious environment – for kids and families, students and teachers alike.

My View:
Beautifully written and illustrated. There is something soothing and gentle in the presentation of the ideas and images in this delightful book.

A great way to introduce poetry to your early reader.
