Description
A fascinating picture book biography of broadcaster and biologist, Sir David Attenborough
'A beautiful book with a timely message accessible for all ages.' Rick Riordan, bestselling author of the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series
As a boy, David loved exploring the wild places near his home. When he was older, he travelled the world to film animals in their natural habitats. His adventures brought the wonders of the world into our homes. But David also noticed that our planet was changing.
What could David do to help? What could we all do?
This is the inspiring story of Sir David Attenborough. It’s also the story of our planet and an urgent call for us to do our part to protect our planet and the creatures who call Earth home.
'Nothing short of stunning.' Sherri Duskey Rinker, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Steam Train, Dream Train
