Reseña del libro "The Natural World of the Turks and Caicos Islands"

The Natural World of the Turks and Caicos Islands helps children discover nature and their relationship to it. Beginning with Lessons from the past, and ending with Caring for our islands, young readers learn that we cannot take more than nature can give; that we humans are interconnected with plants, animals and environments in a great web of life; that we can use our past mistakes to help us choose more wisely for the future, and that we can take action steps to help nature heal. Readers learn how the Turks and Caicos Islands were formed and how plants and how animals reach a new island. This book introduces young readers to the main environments of the Turks and Caicos Islands along with some of the characteristic plants and animals that live in each environment. It also introduces the two most important fisheries animals, the queen conch and the spiny lobster, and two special marine animals of the open sea that breed in surrounding waters: sea turtles and the humpback whale. Clear text is balanced by colorful and sometimes whimsical illustrations throughout.
