Sometimes the darkest things show us the most beauty…
The idea for Little Raven came to author and artist Bridget Uppill after a walk with her newborn son at Woorabinda Bushland Reserve in Stirling, in the Adelaide Hills, South Australia. She said, "I was sitting on a bench feeding my son in the beautiful winter light when a Little Raven landed on the bench next to me. I was startled at first as I had never really liked crows* but noticed how beautiful this bird was as the light reflected off its wings. I noticed its piercing blue eyes, its regal presence, and the way it cocked its head with curiosity at my son. When I reached out my hand to the bird, he flew away to watch me from afar. I wrote the poem Little Raven and began drawing the illustrations of the bird over an 18-month period."
Little Raven is a book about seeing the awe and beauty in something that is not seen as typically beautiful. Moonglow Publishing and Bridget Uppill are delighted to be able to share this idea with children to help them understand that you may have to look at things a little harder to see their natural beauty. This book is aimed toward older children but can be loved and appreciated by all ages.
