Swifty the Snail and his Magic Pencil

The very first book richly written and illustrated by the New Zealand writing-house of Nib Scribbler, this children’s book by I.M. Greene focuses on Swifty the Snail and his tale of helping the beetles rebuild their home with the assistance of the other creatures and bugs and his magical pencil. This story is in verse and focuses on ecological principles. The story enables children to engage creatively with nature, to be in touch with their own emotional well-being and with an emphasis on teamwork. Suited for children ages 3 – 10 as a read-along with parents and family or by themselves if older. This is a softcover book.
