To My Country by Ben Lawson

5.0

Wow - what a gorgeous book. To My Country evokes a deep sense of pride in the country of Australia - in our gorgeous beaches, our beautiful animals and stunning flowers.
Through this story, Ben Lawson has cleverly managed to bring tears to my eyes by highlighting the fact that Australia is dying - the fires are coming early, 1 BILLION animals have died just from the recent bushfires. It tells us that politicians need to stop caring about how much money Australia is churning out, or how much coal and fossil fuels were are mining. We need to care about OUR country, our home.
Stunning illustrations and a gorgeous story that brings a fiery passion for Australia and it's generous people, as well as it's innocent wildlife.
All profits go to the Koala Hospital - so please read it, it is just gorgeous.
