Finding Home cover

Take a tour of 20 unforgettable animal homes: unearth polar bear dens deep beneath the Arctic snow, soar above eagle nests as big as cars and marvel at the remoras that make themselves comfortable on the ocean's deadliest predators.

Finding Home is a celebration of animals and their drive to survive no matter the odds - finding shelter in every nook and cranny on Earth, from the obvious to the unusual. With rich, vivid non-fiction storytelling and arresting illustrations, this is an essential collection for anyone fascinated by animals and the wild ways they live.

A stunning sequel from Mike Unwin and Jenni Desmond, the internationally bestselling duo behind Migration.
