are all part of Antarctica's food web. In this striking picture book, Madeleine Dunphy uses a cumulative approach, combining lyrical verse with repetition to reveal the region's interdependency of life.

Tom Leonard's illustrations

from the flash of orange on a penguin's beak to iridescent icebergs jutting from the sea, capture a wondrous miracle — the circle of life.

Here Is Antarctica

educates as it entertains, inspiring children to explore this fascinating ecosystem page by page.
