EACH day, author Glenice Wood Lake takes her dog for a lengthy walk up and around the top of Mount Buninyong.<\/p>\n

\u201cEvery season up there is so beautifully defined. You can see different birds, plants, the trees changing colour, and leaves falling,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Inspired by its landscape, Wood Lake has created a children\u2019s book about Mount Buninyong for little readers including her own grandchildren, illustrated by Jeanette Creelman Skrokov.<\/p>\n

I Love the Mount<\/em> is written from the perspective of a child, going up the mountain and exploring it with their grandmother.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe walks cover the four seasons, and the child sees all the beautiful things I\u2019ve seen on the mountain; koalas, crimson rosellas, wallabies, echidnas and eagles, orchids, very old trees and ferns,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith advice and feedback from the Indigenous community in Ballarat, I\u2019ve used the Wadawurrung words for the names of the animals in brackets after I\u2019ve introduced them.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Jeanette Creelman Skrokov\u2019s illustration on the front cover of the book depicts the mountain from the Clarendon side. Image: SUPPLIED<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\u201cBuninyong has a fascinating history. This is a nice, gentle way to introduce to children that there were Indigenous people living here before Europeans, they loved it like we do, and that it\u2019s a very special place for them culturally.\u201d<\/p>\n

Wood Lake hopes the story will spark a love of nature within an audience aged five to 10, and encourage them to respect and care for the environment.<\/p>\n

The production of the book has been supported by the Community Bank Buninyong, and copies have been gifted to local schools and kindergartens.<\/p>\n

It is available for purchase at the Buninyong Information Centre in the old library building on Warrenheip Street.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe money will be given back to the Buninyong community,\u201d Wood Lake said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
