Bodhi Palmer is the son of Teresa Palmer and Mark Webber
The story Teresa tells Bodhi about the children's language disappearing is from the book, The Lost Words, by Robert Macfarlane and Jackie Morris. The book came about when it was discovered that the most recent edition of the Oxford Junior Dictionary had displaced a number of words in favor of more contemporary ones. Many of the dropped words were those concerning nature: fern, heron, starling, willow and wren, and in their place were words that came with modern high-tech lives: blog, broadband, cut-and-paste.
