Bookroo's summary

Annabelle's curiosity about her body's design leads her on a wondrous journey with a wise owl. Together, they explore the mysteries of evolution, from the cosmos to Earth's earliest life forms. As they unravel the story of our shared ancestry, Annabelle learns a profound lesson: kindness stems from understanding our interconnectedness. Will this adventure change how she sees the world and her place in it?

From the publisher

In this inspirational storybook written in rhyme, Annabelle asks “Why do we look, the way that we do? With hands and feet, in neat sets of two? What made my eyes? And what made my nose? And the shape of my body, from my head to my toes?” A wise owl answers with the amazing story of Darwinian evolution, and perhaps more importantly, what we can learn from it: to be kind to one another, as we are all related in the same family tree.
