PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
James K. Baxter was one of New Zealand's best known poets. In his short life he produced poems, plays, literary criticism, and social and religious commentary. His work continues to be successfully published long after his death. Kieran Rynhart is a Wellington-based illustrator and animator. He was selected as one of Luerzer's Archive best 200 illustrators for 2010/2011 and his first full illustrated picture book, If I Was a Banana, was shortlisted for the Russell Clark Award for Illustration in 2017.
The pages are full of timeless verse about subjects close to every child's heart, especially those with adventurous spirits; tree houses, swings, whales, ships, steam engines, all are captured with verve and aplomb on the page. The lush, atmospheric illustrations add to the book's appeal. Perfect for reading aloud to thoughtful children. -- Irish Independent This is a beautiful gift edition of a selection of poems from the classic children's book The Tree House by New Zealand's folk poet, James K. Baxter, written in the 1950s. I love the outdoors theme and the different perspectives from which the poems are told - a seagull looking down, a girl on a swing. Gorgeously illustrated and with poems for all seasons, this is a lovely anthology. -- Juno Magazine A beautifully packaged, perfectly sized and long overdue collection of Baxter's timeless kids' poems. -- The Listener, 50 Best Kids' Books of 2020
