A small boy imagines life on Earth when dinosaurs ruled, and the
sky boomed with the wild beat of pterosaur wings. Then an asteroid
fell, changing the world forever. If Kun could go back further in
time, he would witness an even bigger collision, when the young
Earth was struck by another planet, creating our companion moon . .
. The Ever-Changing Earth takes us on a spellbinding journey
through Earth's incredible evolution, with its forgotten creatures,
its buried oceans and its frozen layers. It leads us to Solveig, a
little girl who lives far, far away from Kun, where she floats in a
pool heated by fires at the centre of the Earth. Following on from
The Rhythm of the Rain and Wild is the Wind, Kate Greenaway
award-winner Grahame Baker-Smith takes us on an unforgettable
journey across our ever-changing planet Earth.
Get ready for an epic journey of friendship and discovery from the
bestselling author of The Girl and the Dinosaur. There's a shape up
in the hills, where a giant's said to sleep, beneath a grassy
blanket, on a bed of moss and peat . . . Then, one day, the
sleeping giant wakes - and a small boy called Tom is plunged into
an unforgettable adventure. Along the way, he'll discover what it
means to be a true friend - and that even an ordinary boy can have
the heart of a giant. With a beautiful rhyming text by bestselling
Hollie Hughes, author of The Girl and the Dinosaur, and gorgeous
illustrations from debut talent Anna Wilson, this beautiful book is
an unmissable treat!
