Spare and simple, The Butterfly Garden also weaves in the idea of how the kookaburra may have got its laugh. Fern Martin’s illustrations are a mix of strong colour and transulcent beauty. Her stained glass interpretations of the cocoon at its various stages show its ephemeral quality in a joyful and fluid way
