Our Rainforest Picture Books

Last week in literacy we were inspired by the book "Where the Forest meets the Sea" by Jeannie Baker. It is all about a boys real, and imaginary journey through the Australian rainforest.

We really enjoyed the book, and found it very though provoking, especially the ending where the boy wonders what will happen to the rainforest in the future.

We decided to focus on using all our senses to imagine and describe our own journey through the rainforest.

As we were so impressed by the illustrations in the original book, we decided to use the ipads to create our own picture books, with words and illustrations. They took a while to complete, but they were definitely worth it!

Click on the names below to read that child's book. We are very proud of our work, so please let us know what you think!
