Look inside
Focusing on extraordinary stories from nature, making links with the human world and readers' own experiences this series will capture children's imaginations with lyrical prose, astonishing facts and wonderful illustrations.

"It does an incredible job at explaining how things in nature actually glow despite all the different environments they may live in."
—Oh The Books We Love

Aimed at younger readers who are just starting to engage in non-fiction, these books will not only teach amazing animal facts but will relate them back to everyday scenarios so children can really connect with the content they're learning about. With more emphasis on topic specific children's non-fiction, and the popularity of more lyrical prose intertwined with stunning illustrations, this series of books is sure to be a hit with younger children who are just starting to learn about the world we live in and its amazing - and sometimes bizarre - plants and creatures.
Zoe Armstrong trained as a journalist and has worked in public relations within the charitable sector and in education. Zoe works as a freelance writer in Brighton where she lives with her young daughter. She is the author of Find The Spy.

Anja Sušanj is originally from coastal Croatia, she received an MA in illustration at the University of the Arts London and has been doing illustration ever since. Her first book was The Secret Lives of Mermaids with Flying Eye Books.
