Illustrated and written by Gavin for all ages, these deceptively light-hearted stories focus primarily on our responsibilities to our planet, characterized by the lovable 'Earthy'. Exceptions include 'Dymock the Bookworm' (co-authored with Jean Bunton) which introduces children to how books are made, 'The Lost Combination' and 'My Life, My Chopstick' (co-authored with Jean Bunton) which grapple with the question 'why do we damage our planet?' so often asked by children at story readings.
