Belonging by Jeannie Baker (Paperback) by Jeannie Baker Kids Picture Book Australian Authors

A powerful wordless account of the greening, year by year, of a typical urban landscape.

As in the author's previous picture book, Window, this book is observed through the window of a house in a typical urban neighbourhood, each picture showing a year's developments. This is Window in reverse, with the land being reclaimed from built-up concrete to a gradual greening, shown through the artist's characteristic collage illustrations.

• An impressive conservationist work with a hopeful message.
• Winner of the 2005 Wilderness Society Award for Children's Literature, Picture Book category. A 2005 Notable Book by the American Library Association.
• Belonging is the companion to Window.
