Fantail’s Quilt Written by Gay Hay and illustrated by Margaret Tolland
A gorgeous new picture book that tells a classic indigenous story
– a fantail, a rat, a morepork and the New Zealand bush.
About the Book
Gay Hay and Margaret Tolland tell a big story in a deceptively simple way. Their touch is powerful but light. There is much to talk about behind the elegant pictures and evocative words. – Gavin Bishop
Follow Mother Fantail as she attempts to raise a family in the beautiful but dangerous New Zealand forest. This is a touching story about the circle of life and the perils of the forest.
Vivid pictures that capture the New Zealand bush promise to entertain the young, while providing an interactive educational resource for older children. Deep, rich colour illustrations have the characters leaping off the page and into your imagination. Sketches at the back help children to identify the plants and animals included in the book and a dedication encourages them to look after their native creatures.
