BOOK LAUNCH: Naturopolis by Deborah Frenkel

  • Mary Martin Bookshop 2/188 bay street, Port Melbourne VIC 3207 Australia (map)

Join us to help celebrate the gorgeous new picture book NATUROPOLIS by Deborah Frenkel and Ingrid Barkowiak.

The book will be launched by the wonderful multi-award-winning children’s writer Claire Saxby, accompanied by cake and followed by storytime with Deb and a surprise creepy-crawly friend.

ABOUT THE BOOK

Among the steel and stone canyons of the city, nature flourishes in tiny, tenacious ways. Follow the ant (Iridomyrmex purpureus) to discover the scraps of wilderness hiding in plain sight in this lyrical celebration of urban flora and fauna.

'Naturopolis' is a wonderful acknowledgement of the unseen, and the world that awaits the viewer, eager to connect with nature. You don’t have to go far to find what is waiting for us beneath our feet.
