Notes

A celebration of the joy of singing is coupled with environmental awareness plus understanding and tolerance of ageing. A man lives an isolated life in the Australian bush. The delightful illustrations portray him as environmentally conscious, self sufficient and minimalist. He loves to sing which initially upsets the large variety of native and farm animals. The animals adjust and enjoy his singing and company, but one day he forgets to sing. His valley becomes silent, so one by one the animals begin to sing and the valley reverberates with song. The old man remembers and joins the chorus.
