See evolution in action with this chronological compendium. This new extended edition of Story of Life is the perfect gift for those with a love of the natural world. Each chapter features key species from a different geological era with fantastic new artwork from Katie Scott. Ruth Symons is the author of several children’s books, including A Year in the Wild, Christmas Lights, the Paper World series, and the Sophie la girafe board books. When she’s not writing and editing, Ruth loves gardening, hiking and hosting elaborate teddy bear tea parties with her young daughter. Katie Scott graduated from University of Brighton in 2011. Her work draws influences from traditional medical and botanical illustration, both in aesthetic and subject matter. Her work plays with the ideas of scientific uncertainty and speculation, fabricating the inner and outer workings of the world. Her illustrations depict a familiar yet fantasy vision of plants, humans, and minerals.
