Why read it?
1 author picked Our Family Tree as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I love the simple, evocative way this story is told through a visit to the beach and the sketching in the sand of creatures representing various stages in evolution, from the first cells to human beings, reminding us of what we share with these long-lost ancestors and what divides us from earlier life forms. This picture book for children aged 4 to 7 distills a complex subject with verve and imagination and deserves a place on your childās bookshelf.
From Pamela's list on childrenās books about evolution.
