English:          The Tin Forest by Helen Ward

Stepping into a world where imagination blossoms in the most unlikely of places, The Tin Forest follows a lonely old man who inhabits a bleak, metallic wasteland—a place where the wind clatters through scrap iron instead of leaves. Through this visually beautiful narrative, we will explore the powerful themes of persistence, growth and the spark of hope. We will be using what we discover in this text to explore our own environmental advocacy, creating persuasive leaflets to encourage others to protect our own natural world.
