World-renowned photographer Rachael Hale McKenna beautifully
brings to life the loving bond between Kiwi children and their pets.
Little Loves celebrates
that special connection between Kiwi children and their
animals. Rachael Hale McKenna travelled throughout New Zealand – through small
towns, to remote farms, to the beach, and to the big cities – and met a medley
of much-loved animals including cats, dogs, horses, chickens, eels, sheep and
even a water-logged guinea pig.
Meg & Toodles.
Each story in Little Loves is charming
and often poignant. There is Owen the young boy who was suffering from
selective mutism, whose dog Ling helped him feel comfortable speaking in
public. Meet baby Lily, the gorgeous little girl with a serious heart condition
and her loyal guardian, the British bulldog Millie. To this day, visitors have
to get past Millie before they’re allowed close to her girl. And young Shanti,
whose mother was told while before she was born that her child would have an
innate ability to heal animals. Now seven, Shanti rescues animals and nurses
them back to health. This is a heart-warming book to be pored over, loved and
treasured.
