Description

Introducing the magnificent crumpled paper art by debut author Kunal Kundu, Wildlife on Paper brings to life animal species at risk from all around the world while teaching kids how cool and unique each animal is.

From the Peary caribou in Northwest Canada to the Galapagos Penguin in Ecuador, the Royal Bengal Tiger in India to the Hawksbill Sea Turtle in Australia, this book celebrates the rich diversity of wildlife on almost every continent. Each of the sixteen exquisitely handcrafted paper sculptures comes with interesting trivia and facts about where the animal lives, how it survives in its habitat, and interacts with nature. Also included is a map of where each creature lives on the globe, plus a list of helpful resources and the author's favourite nature conservation organisations.

Sure to be a favourite for kids and adults alike, Wildlife on Paper opens the world wide as you marvel at the gorgeous crumpled paper art journey through the ocean, forest, desert, and more to learn about the diversity of animals and their incredible characteristics.

Please note the artist creates his sculptures sourced from eco-friendly paper companies that plant a tree for every ream of paper sold.

'While there are plenty of picture books introducing readers to endangered animals, the illustrations in this one make it stand out. Author/illustrator Kundu uses crumpled paper to form the animals and then places them within digital environments and photographs the whole. The results - such as an eastern imperial eagle that soars through amber skies and a bulky polar bear on a floe - are striking.' - Kirkus Reviews

'Kundu offers a noteworthy introduction to unusual and often-endangered wildlife. The illustrations, which feature crumpled paper art and digital backgrounds, glow with light and seem more three-dimensional than is possible on a page... This vibrant work examines 16 unique and endangered animals. Recommended both for its unconventional visual treatment and the fascinating information that complements the illustrations.' - School Library Journal

'Motivate future wildlife conservationists through this series of striking images depicting endangered and at-risk species from around the world. It's a stunning visual blend of art, nature, and zoological facts.' - Foreword Reviews

About the Author

Kunal Kundu is an award-winning visual artist who likes to experiment with various styles. He first discovered his signature style in crumpled paper art sculptures when his son, barely a year old, was playing with waste paper sheets. Kunal creates his art by first shaping paper and then later superimposing them on digital environments, describing the process “like gesture drawing as a paper sculpture.” He lives in Kolkata, India.
