A lively text and captivating images tell the story of the
ever-curious boy who grew up to make one of the most significant
discoveries of our time.
From the time Charles Darwin was a boy, he was happiest when he was
out alone collecting specimens (especially beetles). And despite
his father's efforts to turn young Darwin -- a poor student -- into
a doctor or clergyman, the born naturalist jumped instead at the
chance to sail around South America, observing and collecting flora
and fauna all the way. In a clear, engaging narration, Kathryn
Lasky takes readers along on Darwin's journey, from his discovery
of seashells on mountaintops that revealed geological changes 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.
