Wetlands

It is daybreak in the tropical north of Australia. The early morning light falls on the smooth surface of a billabong. It will be another searingly hot day…
From the cracked and dusty land of the floodplains, bearing only shrunken rivers and a series of waterholes, to the fierce storms and torrential downpours over the paperbark trees, award-winning author Tricia Oktober once again captures the diversity and magic of the Australian landscape. In this book, she describes the changing climate of the wetlands, and the way in which this affects the many animals there, whether large or small.

With stunning watercolour illustrations, this is a wonderful way to introduce children to the uniqueness of the Australian flora and fauna.
