Carolyn Eldridge-Alfonzetti is a published writer of stories and poetry for children and adults. She lives adjacent to bushland in suburban Australia and her writing is generally inspired by real life and the natural world. A former Home Economist, food often sneaks into the stories she now creates.
Rainforest Feasts reminds me of why rainforests are one of my favourite places. The wide eyed possum on the cover is the first hint that this story takes place after dark. Sugar gliders, flying foxes, leaf insects, even freshwater crayfish are amongst the many native creatures featured in this forest journey. With glorious colourful illustrations by Heather Charlton, this warm, gently told story is certain to capture the imaginations of the very young.
