Not all is quite as it seems... the dry wilderness in the centre of Australia is full of secrets.
Sand Swimmers: The Secret Life of Australia’s Dead Heart is a non-fiction children’s picture book that takes you into the depths of the desert in central Australia. Telling tales of adaptation and survival, this book uses the journey of Charles Sturt venturing inland to guide us through the secret creatures in this red landscape. While the centre of Australia is often viewed as dead and inhospitable, there are amazing animals which live in these hot and dry conditions. Filled with wonderful linocut illustrations and beautiful descriptive language, this enchanting book is both a wonderful story and an educational tool for young scientists and writers.
