Description
"While up in the air, warm and bright,
Feathery creatures with wings took flight.
Soaring high in the blissful breeze,
And deep in the wind whipped waves of the seas."
From tiny dots of microscopic bacteria to enormous dinosaurs.
Through the Ice Ages and the gallop of evolution.
From cavemen to cars, discover how our world began.
Elli Woollard's lyrical text is a pitch-perfect blend of storytelling, science and wonder. Life will fascinate and entertain the curious child, with Dorien Brouwers' immersive artwork heightening the beauty and inspiring awe in readers young and old.
