“Book Descriptions: An extremely timely and beautiful picture book about the effects of drought and climate change in the Mallee.
The first people of the land call the Mallee “Nowie”. It means sunset country. When the sun goes down the red heat of the day bleeds into the sky and sets it on fire. Drought and rain – life under a Mallee sky. This poetic text by emerging author Jodi Toering is beautifully accompanied by lush oil paintings by fine artist and illustrator Tannya Harricks.
Beautifully told, exquisitely illustrated and essentially Australian. This poetic text describing a desert landscape (the Mallee) in drought is about the effect on the physical landscape, the crops and the people. In essence the book is about the effects of climate change. A moving account of the ripple effect that drought has on a family and on community.” DRIVE
