SONG OF GLADNESS (PB)

From a blackbird in a Devon garden to leopards in the African savanna, hibernating bears to chimpanzees high in the forest canopy, this stunning picture book reminds us of our connection with nature, and the urgent need for us to join together in caring for the world and every creature in it. Former Children's Laureate and Carnegie Medal winner Sir Michael Morpurgo's beautiful story is both moving and full of hope; the illustrations from twice Kate Greenaway-winning Emily Gravett are breathtaking.
