Varmints: Part One

by
Helen Ward
Illustrator: Marc Craste

In a world dehumanized by noisy industry and high-rise urbanisation, a lone thinker retains the ideal of living with nature, believing in its value for the future.

This is a brave publication. With contemporary graphics; dark, painterly, epic images; a sci-fi feel and eco-warrior message, it pushes boundaries.

Clearly not fitting the conventional young picture book market, maybe this will become a cult book for the design-literate teenage environmentalist.

Described as an appeal for the importance of time in this noisy world to stop and think, that’s certainly what it makes you do.
