The overall theme of this series seems to be our relationship to our environment, to nature, to the world at large. This first book in the series begins with a quote from "Kylling Kluk" (1823) by J. Mathia Thiele which is also the title of this first book - "I think all the world is falling." We imagine Chicken Little from this fairy tale running around thinking the sky is falling because a nut hit him on the head. That was long ago, perhaps now we are creating the 'nuts' that are falling all around. There is a beautiful image of nature's hands, or is it human hands. that comes together when the boards are placed side by side. The interior of the accordion shows a bird's eye view of the world - but is it up or down?
