The amount of information that
Jeannie Baker communicates via her intricate collages in Mirror is truly astonishing.
The reader is encouraged to reflect on the points of connection and
difference in the parallel lives of a boy living in inner Sydney, and another
in the Valley of Roses, Morocco by cleverly presenting them side-by-side. Two cultures … two stories … one powerful representation.
My second book, Henry and Amy by Stephen Michael King also introduces us to two
young children, using gentle humour in text and image to consider themes such
as self-doubt, accepting ourselves and others, and friendship. In our home it
is a family favourite.
