Together they explore the island's unique geological beginnings, discovery and degradation at the hands of humans, and the battle to restore it today.

“ Featuring sumptuous artwork, divinely 'aged' maps and letters, hand-drawn diagrams of animals, geographical shapes, houses, ships and much more, One Small Island tells the story of Macquarie Island, a sub-Antarctic island and World Heritage site whose precious ecosystem has been severely damaged since the island's discovery in 1810 . . . Both passionate environmentalists, Lester and Tulloch have travelled to Macquarie Island and Antarctica as Australian Antarctic Arts Fellows - and their concern for this glorious part of the world is beautifully showcased in One Small Island. To read about the efforts being made to restore this pristine land to its former condition is truly heartening – and this story is a vital one to impart to our children – many of whom would have no idea of the peril of Macquarie Island (and let's add many an adult to this equation). A book of importance and hope, this is a must-have book for schools, libraries and of course, the bookshelf of every Australian child. ” Tania McCartney, www.kids-bookreview.com
