Jeannie also intimates our endangered fauna in the final pages of the book, with fading animals. Īll pages in this book are stunning, but the final page, which is superimposed with 'the future' (think highrise resorts) is incredibly moving. Our young lad sits still and listens, and takes in the wonder, and as he leaves, he ponders the fate of this beautiful part of the world, wondering if the next time he visits, the forest will still be there. Untouched and breathtaking, the forest nook, which can only be navigated through a break in the reef, features soaring, ancient trees, tangled with vines and smothered in lichen.

Renowned for her stunning artwork, Where the Forest Meets the Sea is one of Jeannie's earlier books, yet her imagery is evocative as her very latest productions.Ī young lad takes a dingy with his to dad to a glorious prehistoric hideaway in the rainforest - where dinosaurs may one have roamed and Aboriginal children may have played. Jeannie Baker's stunning paper creations come to life in this beautiful book with an ecological message.
