The world is a riot of colour. It’s everywhere we look, from the skies to the seas, to space, to the outback, and to animals, birds and everything in between. It’s a veritable rainbow bursting into life.
The Colours of Nature takes readers on a journey through the ways colour appears in the natural world and the surprising places it can be found. The book is full of delightful facts – did you know a blue whale has a yellow belly? Or that rainbows are actually circles, appearing as arcs only because of our viewpoint?
This is a joyful, information-rich exploration of why things are orange, grey, or blue. Learn about the real colours of animals that appear to be other colours when we look at them. It’s the perfect springboard to find out more about whatever catches your eye, because each thing has a tiny explanation about it underneath the name that tells readers about where it comes from, or what it can do. Or maybe it’ll just have an interesting piece of trivia about the animal or flower that you didn’t know about.
The Colours of Nature is a captivating exploration of colour – its presence throughout the world and the many ways it comes to life for people, animals, and every living thing in the natural environment.
