The voyage that changed everything
In 1831, a 22-year-old Charles Darwin stepped aboard a 90-foot-long ship called the HMS Beagle and embarked on an extraordinary five-year voyage that would transform our understanding of the natural world. Though he was a scientist by profession, Darwin was an explorer at heart—and this beautifully illustrated book biography captures the wonder and excitement of his journey of discovery.
From the tropical forests of South America to the volcanic Galápagos Islands, Darwin collected insects, dug up ancient bones, galloped with gauchos across the pampas, survived earthquakes and volcanoes, and even ate armadillo for breakfast. He marvelled at giant tortoises, studied peculiar finches, and watched glaciers calve into the sea. Every new place brought fresh questions, every specimen sparked curiosity, and the observations he carefully recorded during this adventure would later inspire ideas that changed how we see the world.
Author-illustrator Jennifer Thermes brings Darwin's voyage to life through mesmerizing watercolour and pencil illustrations paired with engaging narrative. Meticulously detailed maps chart the Beagle's route around South America and beyond, whilst "Fun Facts" boxes add fascinating details about the journey.
Suitable for children aged 5 years and up
