Product Description
Book Description
The Big Field is a lovely new picture book for all children and an important addition to resources for the Early Years curriculum. Patterned after books of hours, it is a month-by-month account of life on a farm at the edge of the Atlantic Rainforest in South America. Birds, flowers, butterflies, and bugs abound in a warm and gentle story of three young children living on their grandmother's farm and learning from her the seasonal changes and simple activities that often mirror those of children in the northern hemisphere. The subtext of the grandmother's determination to reforest the big field of the title gives hope and a way forward to young children as they learn about nature in the modern world.
No other book exists to introduce young children to the seasons and nature in this part of the southern hemisphere, and precious few are available to teachers to use as tools in the classroom. The publication of The Big Field is accompanied by a detailed Teachers' Guide and two classroom posters.
From the Back Cover
What is it like to live where August is cold and grey, and where January is hot, where spring comes in September and autumn in April? A child's year on a farm at the edge of the South American Atlantic Rainforest is filled with seasonal activities and with gentle observations of nature's cycles, under the guidance of a Granny who teaches a love of the forest.
