What's out your window?
Can you see trees Falling down fences Rolling hills And cattle grazing?
Can you see skyscrapers Towering structures Busy streets And people scurrying?
Can you see a backyard With a cubby House A dog chasing butterflies And clothes on the line?
Can you see a bike track A park with a lake Swings, a climbing frame And a slippery slide?

About the book by Jeannie Baker Inspiration for this global project has come from delightful picture book Window by author/ illustrator Jeannie Baker about the nature and pace of environmental change caused by people. The story is presented through a series of intricate collages, looking out through a window over a period of 24 years. Window was first published in 1991. In 1992 it won the Australian Children’s Book Council Picture Book of the Year Award; the Young Australian’s Best Book Award for Picture Books; was shortlisted for the Kate Greenaway Medal in the UK and also was nominated Notable Book in the Field of Social Sciences in the USA.
