A voyage of discovery to our world's most remarkable islands by award-winning and bestselling author Yuval Zommer.
On this island-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 manmade - including the towering Moai statues of Easter Island, swirling Northern Lights in the skies above Svalbard, 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 hide-outs, colourful 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 environmentalists alike.
Our Islands is the first book in Our Wonders , a new non-fiction series from best-selling author Yuval Zommer. Each book will take young readers on a journey to some of the world's most unique natural habitats to discover how they formed, why they're special, and to meet the remarkable animals and plants that have made these places their home. Including islands, forests, mountains, rivers and deserts, the Our Wonders series nurtures next-generation environmentalists by immersing them in the most fascinating examples of each habitat.
