Vanishing -Written by Mike Lucas and illustrated by Jennifer Harrison
Published by MidnightSun publishing in 2018
“Once, creatures of all shapes and sizes wandered this empty land. They had horns and wings, scales and feathers. They lived in vibrant forests, desert plains and icy tundras. But where are they now?
Vanishing is a striking tale of our natural world and the looming environmental threats to the creatures that call it home. With stunning illustrations from Jennifer Harrison and the evocative prose of Mike Lucas, Vanishing is an important story about our planet and the creatures we share it with.”
I loved the illustrations in this and think the message shared here is important to share with our future generations. I’d love to see books like this be introduced to children to create a better awareness and a conversation from a young age. Climate change/ eco awareness for children. The end papers broke my heart.
