A gorgeous picture book about the healing power of nature, and birds in particular, from the award winning author of The Starling's Song.

Over a year of walks through the fields, woods and wetlands near her home, Octavie Wolters shares her thoughts and worries with blackbirds and magpies, swallows and oystercatchers, and receives their wisdom in return.

This Will Last Forever is a gorgeously illustrated memoir of a year in nature, a journey through the seasons and a reminder that comfort and enlightenment can be found in the everyday wonder of the wild world.

"As a starling sings of the world's beauty, other birds intertwine their songs with his in this enchanting, award-winning Dutch picture book for 4 or 5" - Guardian
