title: Tasmania: A Wildlife Journey
author: Joyce Powzyk
description: Kindergarten-Grade 3 Powzyk, an artist and naturalist, has created Tasmania after exploring the island and studying its wildlife. The book has the feel of a naturalist's notebook, detailing a hike across this remote Australian island. It does not purport to give detailed information of the various species, nor would it be suitable for reports on the island of Tasmania. Lovely soft-toned watercolor illustrations offer children a first-hand glimpse of plant and animal life on the island. Several maps, an evolutionary chart, and a thorough glossary of even the simplest scientific terms from the text help to make the information accessible to young people. The result is a very appealing booka true expression of this naturalist's acquired love for the island settled by one of her own ancestors.

  Petronella McGovern works in marketing and communications, and has written two
  non-fiction books. She grew up on a farm near Bathurst, New South Wales. This
  novel was inspired by her time living on the edge of Canberra, when her
  children’s playgroup became a source of support and friendship. Petronella now
  lives in Sydney, with her husband and two children, in a house backing onto
  the bush with wallabies in the garden.
