"Boomy the bittern lived in a wetland. A wetland of pools, islands,
ditches and dykes..." Boomy the Bittern tells the story of a family of
bitterns as they go about life in their wetland home: hiding in the
reeds, bringing up their young, squelching through the mud and scooping
up fish to eat. But when the wetlands are drained by humans, where will
the bitterns go? Complete with beautiful illustrations by wildlife
artist Sally Mills and a captivating, informative narrative by Pam
Earnshaw, Boomy the Bittern makes a wonderful bedtime story for any
nature lover. With text designed to develop children's reading skills,
it also provides the perfect teaching tool to positively engage young
readers in discussions about wildlife conservation and climate change.
