Full colour, packed with interesting facts and wonderful illustrations of just some of the amazingly diverse Fauna and Flora that grace our beautiful coastlands. It is ideal for the young reader – but just as appealing to the young at heart. The book covers an eclectic selection, from creatures as familiar as chameleons to the extraordinary symbiosis between that beautiful plant Roridula and its associated bugs, Pameridea.

Each article is a little gem that will enrich, educate and often astonish the reader. It is written with flair that shares Anina’s enthusiasm for the secrets of science that have been unraveled to reveal the true intricacies of nature. The book is also graced with the magical, delicate paintings of local artist Margie Crossman, which lure us into the stories and bring the words to life, producing a captivating blend.

R50 of every book sold through Footprint Press will go towards the Whale Coast Conservation Chameleon Project.
