Overview
From bestselling author Yuval Zommer, this book takes young readers on a journey to some of the world’s most unique islands to discover how they formed, why they’re special, and to meet the remarkable animals and plants that make these places their home. Featuring Zommer’s beloved illustrations, this first book in the Our Wonders series nurtures the next generation of naturalists by immersing them in the most fascinating examples of islands around the world.
On this ocean-hopping adventure, readers will come face-to-face with incredible creatures, from the giant tortoises of the Galápagos Islands to the leaping lemurs of Madagascar. They’ll visit wonders of the world, both natural and man-made including the towering Moai statues of Easter Island, and ice caves on Mount Erebus. From the bubbling volcanoes of Hawaii to the frozen seas of the Antarctic, Our Islands reveals how life can survive in even the most extreme conditions, and why these isolated lands are often home to animals and plants found nowhere else on Earth.
Combined with visits to old pirate hideouts, colorful carnivals, windswept cliffs, and untouched rainforests, this breathtaking tour of our planet’s most remarkable islands is the perfect read for young explorers and budding naturalists alike.
