About this title

Synopsis

Once upon another time,

the world was young and new.

If you want to know this world,

there's something you can do...With sweeping landscapes and up-close details of the natural world, Once Upon Another Time takes readers through a lyrical exploration of the world as it was before humans made their mark. Contrasting the past with the present, this expansive picture book serves as a warm invitation for children--and all people--to appreciate, explore, and protect the magic and wonder of this planet we call home.

Written by award-winning authors Charles Ghigna and Matt Forrest Esenwine, and illustrated by Andrés F. Landazbal, Once Upon Another Time is a stunning portrait of a world that used to exist, and can still be found--if you just know where to look.
