"A nonfiction account of the life of British naturalist David Attenborough and his advocacy for the protection of wild places on Earth"--Provided by publisher.

From the publisher:
An inspiring and accessible picture book biography of the world's best-known naturalist--broadcaster and documentarian David Attenborough--stunningly illustrated by a Caldecott Honoree. Follow David as a young boy growing up in England, to his early career in television, where he had the innovative idea to travel all over the world to film animals in their natural habitats. He played with penguins on icebergs in Antarctica, cuddled with sloths in the rainforests of South America, and listened to the songs of humpback whales in the South Pacific. Over the years his programs reached millions of people. But over the course of his lifetime, David noticed the wild places he loved were shrinking. The animals were becoming harder to find. The weather was becoming more extreme and unpredictable. And so, David turned his lens toward conservation, restoring the wild ecosystems of our planet, and protecting the animals who call Earth home.
