Patterns of Australia presents a series of Australian landscapes and habitats (including the rainforest, desert, waterhole, coastal/ocean, bush, river, sky, wetlands, night-time and wildflowers) in 'patterns', as seen through the eyes of acclaimed indigenous artist Bronwyn Bancroft.
Each landscape contains hidden within it animals, birds, plants and flowers particular to that area, accompanied by text evoking the place and listing the things to find. The book is designed to give children - and adults - an opportunity to see the Australian environment in a new way as they discover that there is an enormous amount to see around us if we look carefully! The vibrant, intricate artwork and the unique environments it depicts make this a rich, beautiful book.
