Stories for a Fragile Planet by Kenneth Steven

Stories for a Fragile Planet by Kenneth Steven

An author and poet, welcomed for his reflective and thought-provoking style, retells 10 stories from different cultures - from around the world and through the ages - which each highlight the importance of taking care of the world. These stories - from ancient Greece, the Far East, the Celts, Africa, Greenland, Russia, China, Japan, South America and ancient Israel - afford wonderful opportunities for Jane Ray's paradisiacal paintings of trees and flowers, animals and birds... in short, all creation.

For a more reflective tone and a close look at some special places in the world, Kenneth Steven's Stories for a Fragile Planet, a collection of stories from around the world the past and present, is thought-provoking and informativeJane Ray's illustrations bring each special place and those who live in it magically alive. -- Julia Eccleshare * Guardian Children's Books *
