Our soundtrack will<br />
soon be the shrill<br />
of cicadas! Days<br />
are lengthening…<br />
plans to adventure<br />
outdoors are being<br />
made. Local awardwinning<br />
author<br />
Lesley Gibbes has captured the very essence of the change<br />
in season in her latest narrative non-fiction book, Searching<br />
for Cicadas.<br />
Beautifully illustrated by Judy Watson, the story follows<br />
a grandfather and grandchild taking a walk to their local<br />
reserve to go cicada-watching. With a tally that is reflected in<br />
interesting facts about these insects, this format of picture<br />
book is fast becoming a favourite at Beachside.<br />
Following Gibbes’ success with Fluke, based on the true story<br />
of the whale calf born in Sydney Harbour in 2012, it’s fantastic<br />
to see her talent applied to another topic so close to home. What<br />
remains to be seen is will we find as many Black Princes this<br />
season?<br />
