Forest Fables

Gelyn Ong

Description

In this enchanting fable of a forest and the myriad creatures that call it home, 8-year-old artist Gelyn Ong paints a lyrical portrait of nature in harmony. But when a lumberjack arrives on the scene, the animals find themselves in danger of losing their home. Through a series of intricate and beautifully painted scenes, the animals come face to face with the lumberjack - will the trees that give them food and shelter be chopped down? This is the remarkable debut of a young artist to watch out for. With a maturity and vision beyond her years, Gelyn Ong captures the forest in moving detail, offering a persuasive case for conserving the earth's shared resources.

For my sisters, Giselle and Gelise
And a big Thank You to Ms Adelina Ong, my art teacher
Once upon a time, there was a rainforest filled with beautiful trees in shades of red, orange and green.
Animals lived there, happy and carefree.
One day, a lumber jack arrived, planning to chop down some trees.
On Monday, he came upon a tree.
