WINNER: 2022 CBCA Picture Book of the Year NOTABLE BOOK: 2022 CBCA
Book of the Year, Eve Pownall Award In the final freeze of an
Antarctic winter, green tails wave across a star-full sky, as if to
farewell endless nights. If this world looks empty, look closer ...
Penguins trek across the ice to their winter homes. As the
temperature warms, birds fly above on their long migrations. And
with the advent of summer, beneath an iceberg, the sea is teeming
with life. Ocean, sky, snow and ice - minute greens and giant blues
- dance a delicate dance in this evocative portrayal of the life
cycle of an iceberg. 'Richly informative and brimming with detailed
facts presented in lyrical, sophisticated, evocative language ...
Text and image balance each other perfectly in their delicate yet
powerful tone. An expert merging of knowledge with grace.'

A stunning picture book about separation, connection and reunion
from the team behind the glorious Iceberg, renowned picture book
creators Claire Saxby and Jess Racklyeft. This is the wind that
carries the whisper from Ren's dream. This is the sailor, long at
sea, who catches it. The multi-award-winning duo behind Iceberg
returns! With its lyrical, cumulative text and whimsical, richly
imagined artwork, Whisper on the Wind is a celebration of the
wonders of the ocean and the power of love to find us - wherever we
are.
The song of the regent honeyeater has been heard in the bush for
many generations – but could it soon be lost forever? Regent's
father had learnt the song from his father, who learnt it from his
father too. But with Regent's species now facing extinction, there
is no one around to teach him. Regent tries to mimic the sounds of
different birds but without success. Will Regent learn his mating
call before it's too late? Or will his ancient song be forgotten
forever? Reading level varies from child to child, but we recommend
this book for ages 5 to 9. Features Introduces readers to the
concept of how and why a species can become endangered. Explores
how songbirds need to listen and learn from others in their species
in order to keep their song. Shows how conservation work is proving
hope for the Regent Honeyeaters, and helping them learn their song.
