Let's Count Wildflowers
Written by Tracey Gibbs
‘Five kangaroo paws wave sooty, velvet hands/ Six Sturt’s desert peas blaze across the sand’.
Beautiful, bold wildflowers are the heroes of this colourful counting board book for the very young. This board book is a gorgeous addition to any Australiana collection and a wonderful way to introduce bubs and their parents to the unique, biodiverse world around us.
PRAISE FOR THE AUTHOR
‘Illustrations by Tracey Gibbs are lustrous in colour and emotion – inked in a slightly abstract style – almost a modern Picasso/Frida Kahlo blend. Her striking wattle wallpaper patterns, scrumptious shadowing and choice of colour give this book the richness its content deserves.’ Kids’ Book Review
'… a mini-masterclass in visual communication as well a fun way of introducing small children to the wonderful world of WA wildflowers.' Sound Telegraph
