Everything around us can move or make a sound: the trees and rivers, the birds, the wind. Even the rainbows and stars. "But hills just can' t move and can' t talk. " Why? This playful prose-poem invites children (of all ages!) to wonder about the world. And to delve below. Do The Hills Talk? has been described as: "Just beautiful. Full of lovely sounds and images which will delight kids. I found it really touching. " Marnie Campbell, anthropologist and artist. "Such a lovely use of language. It gets to the essence of kids, their imagination and joy and playfulness. And the sense that all is possible. " Madeleine Slavick, editor and poet. "Whimsical and totally different. " Ann Hume, educator. It will appeal to children of all ages (even the grown-up ones!) who are intrigued by the extraordinary in the ordinary. And to all who welcome dabbling with the unknown.
