A rhyming journey through evolution

Annabelle’s questions about human features lead into a broad account of life’s history. Guided by a wise owl, the characters travel from outer space to the early Earth and encounter the earliest forms of life, introducing young readers to Darwinian evolution. The book links this scientific subject with the idea that living things share a family tree, framing kinship as a reason for kindness. Its illustrated, rhyming format brings the subject to children through a journey rather than a straightforward explanatory overview.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 4–8 beginning to learn about evolution
  • Families seeking an illustrated introduction to life’s history
  • Young readers who enjoy rhyming books with science themes

Book overview

In this "delightful illustrated book written in rhyme" (as endorsed by Lawrence Krauss), Annabelle asks "Why do we look, the way that we do? With hands and feet, in neat sets of two? What made my eyes? And what made my nose? And the shape of my body, from my head to my toes?" A wise owl answers by taking the characters on an incredible journey through Darwinian evolution. Join our characters as they visit outer space, watch the Earth go through its earliest stages, and gaze in wonder at the earliest forms of life. Young readers will gain a basic understanding of evolution, and perhaps more importantly, what we can learn from it: to be kind to one another, as we are all related in the same family tree.
