Christian Century, Dec 13, 2003

By Peter Sis. Farrar; Straus & Giroux, 36 pp., $18.00

Sis relates how and what Darwin discovered and spent the rest of his life contemplating. On each page multiple narrative and visual forms occupy space with hand-created maps, drawings and other images. As he did in Starry Messenger, which interprets Galileo's intellectual heroism, Sis encapsulates the life story of a prominent scientist in a highly original and intriguing way. (Ages 9-12)
