A poignant story about the perils of our avarice. Winner of the Maurice Sandak Fellowship award, Frann Preston-Gannon takes us on a voyage with five animals whose habitats are threatened due to our greed and destructive habits.
Through the eyes of a polar bear, a panda, an elephant, an orangutan and a dodo, Frann explores the plight of animals as mankind threatens their very existence.
Polar Bears: "polar bears and many other ice-dependent creatures are at risk."
Pandas: "Severe threats from humans have left just over 1,800 pandas in the wild."
Elephants: "elephant populations have experienced significant declines over the last century."
Orangutas: "The destruction and degradation of the tropical rain forest, particularly lowland forest, in Borneo and Sumatra is the main reason orangutans are threatened with extinction".
Dodos: "The dodo's natural habitat was almost completely destroyed after people started settling on Mauritius."
Beautifully illustrated and written from the core of the heart.
