A stop-frame Animation made by my brother
I'm not sure how to embed this video, but please click on the link to have a look at this video made by my brother a couple of years ago. He made all of the puppets, sets and combined a mixture of real life and models. Will be posting the link to another one of his videos soon.

Toby and the Secrets of the Tree
I finished this book at some point last month. The follow up to Toby Alone, this novel was a very quick read. Toby returns back to the tree to rescue his people the the novel follows his adventures on the tree. He brings with him some of the grass people and the story explores some of the racial tensions and misconceptions that happen when two different 'races' mix. I enjoyed the series, but did feel like this particular novel was rushing to finish the story a little bit. I would recommend this story to competent readers who are tweenagers to early teenagers. Its a good way to introduce children to ideas about environmentalism.
