Synopsis:
What on Earth is That? Is a story in rhyming text about a pangolin - the world's least-known yet most-trafficked mammal. The author's sone Luke invites young readers or listeners on a journey asking various animals what they think the odd-looking creature is that he and a friend have found. In the process, it's revealed just what extraordinay and endearing animals pangolins are and how deserving they are of our protection as an endangered species. A section at the end of the book provides some interesting facts on pangolins and shows the work being done by the Tikki Heywood Trust to fight for their survival.
About the Author:
Sarah Savory's inherited and enduring love of animals and of sotry-telling go back a long way. Her father, Allan Savory, is a world-renowned ecologist who developed the cocnept of Holistic Management, and her grandmother Margaret Barnes, was the first Rhodesian woman to attend Oxford University where she was tutored by the famous author C S Lewis - a useful mix of genes for writing this children's book about a pangolin.
Frederic Baele is a Zimbabwe-based Belgian who is a consultant on social issues of child protection. He also happens to be a talented illustrator. Fred says that drawing brings him peace and helps him focus.
