Book Synopsis

Celebrate our amazing world with this fascinating and entertaining book featuring wow-worthy animal facts and beautiful photos that will remind you of what we risk losing if we don't make changes to our environment.

Ever hear of the Pink-headed Duck? What about Romeo the Frog, a type of rare water frog who found his mate with the help of an online dating photo?

Our world is full of quirky, interesting wild animals that roam the treetops and plains and who make our planet a vibrant, diverse place to live. Wild Life! celebrates them by providing you with inspiring facts, conservation success stories, and profiles of people working hard to find and protect the rarest of these species. Along with remarkable, full-color photos, this book will both entertain and inform you about the rare and endangered animals that may soon disappear if we don't make the necessary steps towards conserving our environment.

Review Quotes

"Wild Life! takes us on a fact-based ride through the wild and wonderful world of species that are little known, seldom seen, and in need of more love. Geek out over these creatures--they'll definitely grab your attention and take you places you didn't know existed."

--Carl Safina, author of Becoming Wild: How Animal Cultures Raise Families, Create Beauty, and Achieve Peace

"An intersectional approach to the protection of both people + planet that seeks to uplift all people and empower Indigenous voices is crucial to restoring the wild! It takes all of us to save the planet--read this book and gain insights from the best!"

--Leah Thomas, founder of Intersectional Environmentalist

"Embracing the wild means stepping back and connecting with the larger complexity. By focusing on nature's lesser-known but critical species and the people who work to protect them, Wild Life! reminds us of the interconnectedness of all wild beings, and of the role we all play within that complexity."

--Adrian Grenier, UN Environment Goodwill Ambassador, impact investor, and cofounder of Lonely Whale

"We all have our own story to tell, and this book contains stories of species and the incredible people protecting them. It celebrates their quirks and talents, and their importance to the amazing, interconnected system of the wild."

--Karrueche Tran, actor, model
