Meet Lucy. She may look familiar, but her story began 3.6 million years ago.
This beautifully illustrated book imagines her world as she roams ancient landscapes with knife-toothed cats and towering giraffes, while navigating raging volcanoes and fierce storms.
Inspired by the discoveries of Lucy's skeleton and the Laetoli footprints, Footprints blends scientific breakthroughs with engaging storytelling, offering a unique glimpse into our shared evolutionary past.
Perfect for fans of The Fossil Hunter and The Search for the Giant Jellyfish , Footprints is an unforgettable exploration of our ancient past.
Epic true story takes readers back 3.6 million years to meet Lucy, the groundbreaking discovery that transformed our understanding of human evolution.
