This book by Jeannie Baker is quite a jump from her first book, Polar. Where the Forest Meets the Sea is set in the Daintree Rainforest in Australia. Baker made two trips there to research and collect materials. Her relief collages were made from many materials such as modeling clay, papers, textured materials, preserved natural materials and paints. Her work is really remarkable and quite realistic. Baker is also a film maker. This book was made into a 10 minute animated film which won the 1988 Australian Film Institute Award for Best Australian Animated film. Where the Forest Meets the Sea Written and illustrated by Jeannie Baker Greenwillow Books, 1987

Linda learns about East Africa at school and about the Masai people who live there. She feels a connection to these people and this way of life and for the rest of the book compares her experiences to what they would be if she were Masai. This book shares this theme of similarities and difference with Mirror by Jeannie Baker where two lives are shown but there are more similarities than differences. *** Vintage book in good condition. Pages are intact and not marked by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Please, check the pictures before placing your order. Also, feel free to contact me, if you have any questions. :) Shipped with USPS Media Mail.
