Inhaltsangabe

All of nature is beautiful. This stunning book shows how a variety of amazing creatures have evolved to look and behave the way they do.

As humans, we like our animals to be cuddly and furry, or smooth and sleek. We shy away from those creatures that, to us, look odd. But we should drop those opinions - everything has evolved for a reason, and is perfect in its own way.

Take a look at the vampire squid, or the duck-billed golden line barbel - both have evolved in interesting and amazing ways to find food, deter predators or attract a mate. Everything is perfect. Everything is beautiful.

Illustrated with stunning watercolour images, this book will be treasured by families around the world. Its message is positive and life-affirming for children, for humans, for the whole of nature.

The perfect book for fans of Hidden Planet by Ben Rothery and The Golden Mole by Katherine Rundell.

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

William Spring began his career as a cartoonist, working for Private Eye and the Spectator.

He has also worked as an archaeological illustrator - an activity that led him to 'all sorts of hot and uncomfortable places', including the Western Sahara.

Having written and illustrated over a dozen picture books for children (under the pseudonym Alborozo) William Spring has returned to his love of natural history painting, producing stunning watercolour drawings with the philosophy that there is nothing in nature that is not beautiful.
