Lasky's text balances the exuberant artwork with well-organized
information, gracefully sprinkling in quotes from Darwin. -- School
Library Journal (starred review)
In a clear, engaging narrative, Kathryn Lasky takes readers along on
Darwin's journey, from his beetle-collecting childhood to his
observations of variations in plants and animals, suggesting that all
living things are evolving over time. Matthew Trueman's striking
mixed-media illustrations include actual objects found in nature,
enhancing this compelling look at the man behind the bold theory that
would change the way we think about the world--and ourselves.
Back matter includes a bibliography.
