Through Sam’s bedroom window, the reader observes the gradual transformation of the world outside his home, which changes from a peaceful, bio-diverse, wild landscape into a cluttered ‘noisy’ urban cityscape.Ĭreated by Jeannie Baker, a British artist living in Australia, together with the help of biologist and environmental consultant Haydn Washington, this book has a clear ecological message. In addition to the cover, the 13 images, each shown as a double-page spread, follow the life of a boy called Sam in two-yearly intervals from his birth to the birth of his own child 24 years later. This beautiful and thought-provoking wordless book from the early 1990s depicts the destructive impact of human life on the natural world. Window – Wordless Books Wordless Books Window (1991) ![]()
