Book Synopsis

Discover the fascinating story of Lucy, the first known hominid to walk on two feet, in this beautifully illustrated book that connects us to our distant past.

Long before cities, farms, or even fire, our earliest ancestors walked a dangerous world of smoking volcanoes, fearsome predators, and wide-open plains where a single misstep could mean disaster.

Inspired by a remarkable fossil discovery called Lucy and the famous Laetoli footprints left by members of her species, step into our ancient past and walk the path that would one day lead to us.

EPIC TRUE STORY: Footprints takes readers back 3.6 million years to meet Lucy, the groundbreaking discovery that transformed our understanding of our ancient past.

GRAPHIC NOVEL-STYLE ELEMENTS: Ancient landscapes, extraordinary animals like knife-toothed cats, and dramatic prehistoric events are brought to life through gorgeous illustrations.

CAPTIVATING NONFICTION: Footprints blends scientific breakthroughs with engaging, page-turning storytelling. Young readers will be drawn into this fact-filled story!

Perfect for:

Gift-givers who are looking for a beautiful and educational book about prehistoric events
Parents, grandparents, caregivers, and educators looking for STEM books
Kids who dream of becoming paleontologists and fossil hunters, and who are interested in Earth's history
Fans of The Search for the Giant Arctic Jellyfish
