About: Want a book to give you goosebumps? A book to highlight the treasure that is our planet? A book that brings together and brilliantly illustrates the pot of melting culture that is our world? What about one that also throws in a dash of magic and a good scattering of archetypes, folklore, myth, mother nature and love love love love love?
This book is all about love. It’s about our beautiful baby earth – still such an infant in the grand scale of the universe. It’s about how she was born – crafted from wood and stone, air and water and fire and how all the other planets arrived to herald her birth.
Uncle Neptune appears and gives the newborn baby Earth the most magnificent gift of all things that swim
