Nature's Journeys

From drifting clouds to drifting jellyfish, explore the science of movement on our amazing planet - with PEEK-THROUGH pages!

The science of movement in the natural world

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Written as a beautiful lyrical story, discover all manner of things that turn up with the tides and move thousands of kilometres on ocean currents. On land, see pollen drift on breezes, spiderlings parachute on the wind, and albatrosses glide over oceans.

For everything that drifts, there's something that stays still, from barnacles that anchor themselves to rocks and sloths that cling to rainforest branches to plant roots that reach deep into the earth to keep them still.

Readers can delve into the labels to find out more about the science, and how plants and animals are perfectly adapted to get around—and stay still. Turn to the back to explore 'A World Map of Movement' and a glossary of keywords.

With text by award-winning science writer Lela Nargi and sublime illustrations by Xuan Le, this is a perfect buy for curious readers aged 6+.
