Set during the excitement of the Easter season, this book is a simple counting tool for children and centres on themes of wildlife protection and reusing resources, as well as emphasising the importance of conservation versus consumerism.
As envelopes full of foils from friends arrive in the letterbox, this book shows the importance of community and friendship. Alongside facts about bilbies, Australia’s native equivalent to the Easter bunny, this books takes the reader through a journey of collage.
The art of collage is about reinventing and recycling and repurposing. It’s a magical process which invites and encourages collecting, combining, experimenting, transforming with everyday materials, in this instance, chocolate foils. It invites the reader to think creatively to reuse whatever is available to them, much like the South Australian Living Artists (SALA) Festival Exhibition that these colourful artworks were displayed in.
As the effects of overconsumption and climate change become all too clear in the world around us, this book is a resource to introduce children to the importance of taking care of our environment. It shows what they can do in their everyday lives to help make our planet a better place to live.
