Discover why we must protect Antarctica from climate change.
Home to millions of penguins, ancient dinosaur fossils and huge blue whales, Antarctica is our last great wilderness. This fascinating picture book brings to life this extreme and exciting continent for young children, exploring its icy landscape and extraordinary wildlife. It also shows the incredible scientific research that happens there and therefore why it is so important that we act to protect this special part of the planet from climate change and plastic pollution.

Catherine wrote her first book The Story of Life after searching in vain for the story (rather than text book) of evolution when her two girls were at primary school. She has now written over 35 books for children to share her curiosity, start conversations and inspire action to care for our natural world. Covering global issues from climate change to freshwater and conservation, Catherine’s books are aimed at children and the grown-ups who read with them.
