Illustrated by
Karen Lewis.
In a folktale-esque narrative ("Grandmother Fish had many kinds of grandchildren"), this book draws a path from fish to human along a branch of the evolutionary tree. Friendly illustrations paired with text inviting young readers to move or sound like animals make the subject approachable. An appendix includes "our evolutionary family tree" and extensive notes explaining concepts of evolution and how to discuss them with children.
