Here Is Antarctica

By Madeleine Dunphy
Illustrated by Tom Leonard
Ages 3-8, 32 pages, Fall 2008

Penguins, whales, seals, fish, and many other animals are all part of the food web
of Antarctica. Environmentalist author Madeleine Dunphy uses a cumulative
approach, combining lyrical verse with repetition, to reveal the interdependency
of life in Antarctica. Tom Leonard’s vibrant paintings, from iridescent icebergs
to the flash of yellow on a penguin’s feathers, beautifully capture a wondrous miracle—the circle of life.

Here Is Antarctica will fascinate and inspire children as they explore this endangered environment page by page.
