Jeannie Baker was born in England, but now lives in Sydney, Australia. Her work often has an environmental focus and has won numerous awards, including the Friends of the Earth Earthworm Award for Where the Forest Meets the Sea and the 2005 Australian Wilderness Society Award and 2005 Australian Picture Book of the Year Honour Book for Belonging.
Very simple at first glance - Baker's idea of what might be going
through the head of the lady she sees daily feeding the pigeons in
Hyde Park, Sydney. However, it leaves you with the message of
needing to feel wanted.
I love that she has included so many of the people she sees in the
park, especially the regulars
*goodreads*
Jeannie Baker masterfully brings to life the world of Hyde Park,
Sydney (or any public park, for that matter). Her collage people
are so realistic that you feel you could step in amongst them to
live their reality, Millicent the pigeon lady especially.
Gorgeous!
