About this ebook
THE LAND OF THE WHITE BIRDS presents a chance for children aged 6-12 and their parents to increase their environmental awareness together. It is a book for reading on your own as well as for reading aloud. The book contains a section with a varied range of activities, based on the super learning system, that help to deepen the children's knowledge about processes of cause and effect in our natural environment. Young readers are captivated following the adventures of Nick, a young hare who lives in the country, and Croak, a city-dwelling raven. The two face a series of challenges that threaten to endanger and destroy their habitat, nature around them and indeed our whole planet. But there is also Mull, a wise mole. He can see into the future and he knows that the efforts many people make to create a worthwhile future won't be in vain. Also, Mull knows that it is children in particular - the "little humans", as he calls them - who can help the plants, the animals and the whole earth to have a better life.
About the author
Volker Schmidt ist studierter Biologe, Geograph, Pädagoge und freier Journalist bei einer großen regionalen Tageszeitung. Sein literarisches Engagement gilt neben der Pressearbeit der Bewusstmachung der heute in vieler Weise problematischen Entwicklung von Natur, Mensch und Gesellschaft. Seine Bücher sind aktuell animierend und oft zugleich märchenhaft, wobei sein verständlicher Umgang mit den Inhalten Jugendliche und Erwachsene gleichermaßen fasziniert. Neben seinen Büchern schreibt Volker Schmidt umweltkritische Gedichte und Kurzgeschich-ten. Wegen seiner hintergründigen, bissigen Umweltlyrik hat ihn der Süddeutsche Rundfunk nicht zu Unrecht als "Robin Hood mit spitzer Feder" bezeichnet. Volker Schmidt ist verheira-tet, hat vier erwachsene Kinder und lebt zusammen mit seiner Frau in einem naturnahen klei-nen Rosenparadies in Mittelfranken.
