Wise Words from David Attenborough

“In the most hostile environments that you can imagine, there is some little creature beavering away there, just earning a living.”

Not only is this book full of such uplifting and inspiring quotes by David Attenborough, it’s also wonderfully illustrated by Nat Carroll. The words and colours capture moments of the natural world, enabling the reader to take a moment for themselves too.

As well as plants and animals, there’s commentary on topics like sustainability, community and vegetarianism. Having spent his 70-year career on radio and television describing the world to us, Sir David is a rich source of wise words, many of which feature in this unauthorised collection.
