Company Overview:: MorddelEditions publishes beautiful picture books for children that share a child’s joy in life and delight in the natural world. We intend that each book shall be so important to its readers that it will become a lifelong talisman, treasured for having brought a love of books, a love of nature, or a love of a character.

We feel that our first title, The Big Field – a Child’s Year Under the Southern Cross, will more than fulfil this goal.

We are also producing two posters for classroom display. (read less)

The Big Field is a lovely new picture book for all children and an important addition to resources for the Early Years curriculum. Patterned after books of hours, it is a month-by-month account of life on a farm at the edge of the Atlantic Rainforest in South America. Birds, flowers, butterflies, and bugs abound in a warm and gentle story of three young children living on their grandmother’s farm and learning from her the seasonal changes and simple activities that often mirror those of children in the northern hemisphere. The subtext of the grandmother’s determination to reforest the big field of the title gives hope and a way forward to young children as they learn about nature in the modern world.
