Description
The sun is rising over a lonely group of islands more than six hundred miles away from the nearest continent. The air is still and the sea is calm, but beneath the water something is stirring.
An island is about to be born - one that in time will become the home of plants and animals that exist nowhere else on Earth. How did they come to inhabit the island? How long will they remain? This extraordinary book is in fact the biography of a Galapagos island - from birth, through adolescence, to adulthood, and beyond. With his customary blend of meticulously researched facts and vivid, intricate paintings, award-winning author and artist Jason Chin has once again created a distinctive and innovative work of narrative nonfiction.
