When the Mountain Wakes by Matt Shanks, Affirm Press, ISBN 9781923419056
REVIEWED BY MARLEY, 10, WA
The publisher provided a review copy of this title.
The Mountain Wakes is a picture book about persisting until you get what you need. It’s a great story about hope and how the littlest things in life can make a difference to even bigger things.
The illustrations are very detailed and scientifically correct. And the pastel colour palette is really pretty.
I think this book would be enjoyed by kids from Year 1 or 2 onwards, because younger audiences might find it a bit complicated to understand what they’re seeing.
This book is a great inspiration for those who reach for the stars.
