Nature as a ‘device’

January 31, 2012 by Caro&Co 8 Comments

I have long admired the work of Australian cartoonist & artist Michael Leunig.  This cartoon?  One of his best ever.  Please encourage your children to do as he suggests and make sure you join them, often.   Thank you to the wonderful people over at The Nature Nurture project for sharing this originally. LOVE. x

    I havent seen that one but I love it too. I have a Leunig on my fridge titled, “Vulcanology” in which it describes everyone and everything being susceptible to random blow ups, tvs, people, cars etc “but not the dog, never the dog”.

    Also went to see him at the Opera House where he drew lovely australian animal characters to the Sydney Symphony playing the Saint Saens Carnival of the Animals.

    Love Leunig. Thanks for sharing x
