Thanks to Bloomsbury Publishing and our wonderful author Catherine Barr, the children were taken on a vibrant journey through The Colours of Nature. Catherine captivated them with stories of her travels around the world, explaining how her fascination with the animal kingdom inspired her to write this remarkable book. Each page is filled with fascinating facts and vivid colours, sparking the children’s imaginations.
In an incredibly generous gesture, Bloomsbury gifted every child in Years 1, 2, and 3 a hardback copy of the book. Catherine also shared videos of the animals featured and gave insight into how illustrator Chaaya Prabhat brought the pages to life with her beautiful artwork.
Enjoy reading this book at home with your child—we hope it becomes a firm favourite at bedtime. Take time to discuss language such as endangered, habitat, and conservation, helping to deepen their understanding. By sharing these conversations, you can continue to nurture your child’s appreciation for both nature and reading.
