Connected
When Nathaniel Eckstrom lived in a high rise apartment building in London and then the Sydney suburb of Cammeray, he was amazed at how many of the people who lived in close proximity to each other didn’t know each other.
In a time when we are all ‘connected’ through technology, we can end up being very disconnected from the people in our immediate vicinity.
This beautifully-illustrated children’s book looks at 16 people living in the same building, and shows how they are connected through the five senses of sight, smell, taste, touch and hearing.
Han’s piano accordion sounds all through the building.
It’s too much for Sarah, her ears need some shielding!
Julia says Mrs Smith’s pies have “THE BEST TASTE EVER!”
Handyman Roy fixes everything. He’s oh so clever!
This is Nathaniel Eckstrom's first book as author & illustrator. He has won national and international awards, and his work has been published in Sketch, Desktop and Safety Solutions magazines. His work is on the cover The Idea of North’s, 2011 CD, Extraordinary Tale, on ABC Classics. Previous books: The Giant Bowl of Chocolate by Marion Lucy & The Hair Ball by Spider Lee.

I didn't feel connected to this book at all.

This is a very very beautiful book!
Kids will love it, and the message that we're all connected through the five senses is really lovely :-)
