Description

A beautiful picture book that explores how the life of one Amur (Siberian) tiger of the around 500 alive today, is linked to countless other animals and why biodiversity matters. Produced in association with the Natural History Museum, the book helps young children explore conservation without being alarmist.

Vivian Mineker uses watercolour, coloured pencil and digital processes to create a modern look with a traditional texture.

The book is part of the series One Life, One Planet for children age 5 plus. Titles in the series: One Blue Whale in Ten Thousand /One Bee in Billions / One Amur Tiger in Five Hundred / One Koala in Fifty Thousand
