Can you spot the connection?
These two books are for completely different readers but they do have something in common. Can you spot what it is?
The incredible diversity of our natural world is at risk.
Navaselva calls us to look at our world from the point of view of different wild animal characters. We become aware of their deeper ways of communicating and their challenges on a long journey to the cooler north.
This ecological adventure, framed by our human narrator Jay Ro, brings to life the diverse beauty of nature and shows us the difficulties and fears she faces growing up in the 21st century.
The Call of the Wild Valley, Georgina Wright’s first book in the Navaselva series, is a thought-provoking read for the young adult who is curious about our environment.
The finery of Christmas only lasts a short while.
The excitement fades and the children lose interest in the little tree. It now longs for the life it had before. It realises that being amongst nature even in all sorts of weather was far more rewarding that being stuck indoors. And it would have had an advantage over the other trees; it would have remained while they lost their leaves in the autumn.
Now, though, the warmth in the house has made it shed most of its needles and it is confined to a dustbin.
Yet there is hope. One of the children finds a way of being kinder to its nature.
