"The Art in Country: A Treasury for Children" By Bronwyn Bancroft
A breathtaking journey across the Australian landscape, The Art in Country: A Treasury for Children is a luminous celebration of land, colour, and connection. With her signature vibrancy, acclaimed artist Bronwyn Bancroft captures the soul of Country—deep gorges, snowy peaks, winding rivers and sunburnt deserts—through rich patterns, poetic language and evocative illustrations.
This stunning collection invites young readers to discover the beauty, power and spirit of the Australian continent. It’s not just a book—it’s a love letter to Country and a perfect first step in helping children connect with the natural world around them.
A treasured addition to any home or classroom, this book speaks to all who cherish the land beneath their feet.
Reviews:
