Millicent

release date: Oct 01, 2025
Millicent
A reissue of the classic Australian picture book by Jeannie Baker about an old lady who feeds the pigeons in Hyde Park. Millicent is a gentle story about an old lady’s daily wanderings through Hyde Park to feed the pigeons. She never stops to speak to anyone except the birds, who fly towards her when she arrives. Along the way, we hear Millicent’s thoughts and feelings towards the pigeons that she so dearly loves and cares for. Her dream is to find enough feathers on the ground to make a coat, hat, bag and shoes so she will be warm and cosy, ‘just like a pigeon.’ Millicent features Jeannie Baker’s intricately detailed collages which capture a particular Australian atmosphere and place in time.

Circle
“It’s hard to imagine a more powerful treatment of migration: Baker conveys the strength of the birds and the fragility of their habitat with equal care.” — Publishers Weekly (starred review) Each year, bar-tailed godwits undertake the longest unbroken migration of any bird, flying from their breeding grounds in the Arctic to Australia and New Zealand and back again. They follow invisible pathways — pathways that have been followed for thousands of years — while braving hunger and treacherous conditions to reach their destination. In Circle, Jeannie Baker follows the godwits' incredible flight, taking readers over awe-inspiring scenes as the birds spread their wings above such beautiful landmarks as the Great Barrier Reef and China’s breathtaking cityscapes for an unforgettable journey.

A family. A house. A neighborhood. A place to play. A place to feel safe. Little by little, baby Tracy grows. She and her neighbors begin to rescue their street. Together, children and adults plant grass and trees and bushes in the empty spaces. They paint murals over old graffiti. They stop the cars. Everything begins to blossom.

A l'aide d'illustrations faites à partir de collages d'une multitude de matières végétales et minérales, cet album nous invite à la découvrir de manière originale : prélevés sur place, la terre, les coquillages, les écorces ou les feuilles rassemblés ici donnent l'impression d'un décor en trois dimensions.
