jeannie baker

The first time I picked up a Jeannie Baker book, I must admit I was somewhat flummoxed. However, after taking a while to look through, and especially after looking at her other titles, I was amazed and have been singing her praises ever since.
Jeanie Baker works in collage, each book is a collection of impressive collages telling a story, all of which have a very powerful message. These books can make wonderful teaching tools for subjects such as art, history, geography, social studies.
Another angle that gives Jeannie Baker's work a somewhat magical and mystical quality for the British/ European audience, is the combination of the familiar and the wonderful, breath-taking beauty of Australian landscapes and wildlife.
The books contain few or no words...but if a picture is worth a thousand words, one of Jeannie Baker's collage books must be worth a million.
(p.s. NOT AN AUDIO BOOK!...but currently unable to find a way to submit the review without the audio book questions, hence the negative side to a review with 5stars...)
