David Attenborough grew up loving all things in nature. He studied natural sciences in college and wanted to share all he learned with the world. When commercial air travel and television became available to all, David decided to introduce humans to the world of animals, so that they would love them as much as he did. As time went on, David could see that the wild places on earth were being taken over by humans. He spent his last years inspiring the public to work at returning the wild places to the earth.


Rocco reminds us all of what we owe to our world. Not only did the book cover the biography of David Attenborough, it quoted him.  The book also educates the reader about ecology and specific ways to care for the plant, such as: renewable energy, sustainable farming, and protecting the oceans. The beautiful illustrations enhanced the reading experience.
