About This Book
Reach for this book when your child expresses a deep concern for the environment or asks difficult questions about why certain animals are disappearing from the wild. It serves as an essential bridge between a child's natural love for big cats and a sophisticated understanding of global conservation efforts. Through a blend of biology and activism, the book empowers young readers to see themselves as part of a global solution rather than just passive observers of a crisis. Author Dan Bortolotti provides a comprehensive look at the tiger's world, from its physical prowess to the complex socio-political threats it faces like habitat loss and poaching. While the subject matter is serious, the tone remains grounded in hope and human ingenuity. It is an ideal choice for middle-grade readers who are ready to move beyond basic animal facts and engage with the real-world challenges of protecting our planet's biodiversity.
