The Ever-Changing Earth is a beautiful narrative of our planet's history.

Grahame Baker-Smith's brief text includes a wonderous amount of detail, paired with his gorgeous illustrations.
Both Kûn and Solveig, thousands of miles apart, have a love of the Earth, one about the origins when the pterosaurs flew and the other loves the beauty of the Northern Lights. Each spread is an invitation to love Earth's history, from include the arrival of the first single-celled life to the ice age that gripped the planet for an era, as slowly the connection of Kûn and Solveig is revealed.

Readers of all ages will appreciate the wondrous transformation our Ever-Changing Earth has undergone, and will continue to do so.
