About the Author

Bestselling author Christopher Lloyd began his career as a journalist with the Sunday Times newspaper. Then, while camping with his family, he had a critical realisation: even with a 1st class degree in history from Cambridge University and experience as a science writer, there was so much about the world he didn’t know. So, he set out to write books that zoom out and tell the big stories, opening readers’ eyes to how seemingly unrelated events fit together and showing them multiple perspectives on the world, all in highly engaging prose and matched with lively illustration and photography. Now, with several books in print, including the bestselling What on Earth Happened? and Absolutely Everything!, Chris divides his time between writing books and delivering lectures and workshops to schools, literary festivals, and a wide range of other venues around the world. He lives in Tonbridge, Kent, with his wife and two adorable terriers.

Reviews

"These examples give a fascinating insight to the similarities between species and promote sympathy with the animal world - which can only be a good thing for future generations." 
*BookTrust*

“The illustrations are lovely, using bold blocks of colour and showing the creatures sensitively. I particularly love the spread of the bees on honeycomb and flower. This is great book to add to the class or school library, encouraging children to pause and consider the similarities between us.”
