'This is a beautiful little book. A story well told and delightfully illustrated throughout. A story with a serious message in presenting us with an all-too-familiar scenario today: the exploitation and destruction of innocence in the name of so-called progress which in reality means greed and personal profit. Badpaw, a sweet and lonely dingo cub with an injured paw seeking compassion and comfort and finding it in young Holly, the daughter of a profiteering rancher in The Snowies mountain range in Australia responsible alongside his friends for the persecution and destruction of these beautiful creatures...but all is not lost for the dingo or humanity as compassion is found and love prevails. Yes, an excellent story for children which carries a message that all humanity must now heed: wake up and begin to care for this precious Earth and all who live upon her.' - Michael Vincent: author of 'Self Enquiry: On Being You. A Journey into Truth.'
