Rock and Roll by Hazel Terry, Published by Tiny Owl
You can’t help but be captivated by the use of illustrations throughout this story, they are colourful, vibrant and emotive. Rock and Roll stand tall and proud near enough to each other to connect, share and wonder at the world. Countless years pass and they enjoy their time spent looking around them and shyly glancing at one another. Love can be felt throughout the beginning pages of this book. When people begin visiting, it is a joy and Rock and Roll are adorned with gifts which they love but over time jealousy whittles it’s way in. They no longer smile and share beautiful moments but sling insults and cruelty to each other. The impact of their jealousy cause a storm and they begin to lose themselves. I had two views on this story- one on the damage the human race can cause to the beauty and wonder of the world, and the other in just how powerful anger and jealousy can be to friendships. The story highlights just how interconnected we all are in this world.
