GROWNG UP GALAPAGOS work-in-progress adventure
Our adventure to Galapagos begins with the iconic panorama of Bartolome. From the viewpoint of another soaring Galapagos Hawk, Buteo galapagoensis the image focused on a few privileged zodiac traveler approaching a desolate sandy cove. A flaming female Lava Lizard, Microlophus albemarlensis basks in the morning glow while snacking on its favorite, the tiny white flowers of the ancient and rare Gray Matplant, Tiquilia nesiotica a perennial herb of the Santiago, Islets.
This wonderful and unique book project is an unforgettable journey. Galapagos, with abundance of endemic flora and fauna, so extraordinary that finding creative illustration compositions for this 32 page children’s picture book is like picking from a exclusive selection of gems. So many zany animal characters, complex vistas, azure waters with wild lagoons, shadowy rocky volcano zones and ever-changing specular skies. This is truly a natural history illustrator’s ultimate assignment!
Commission by Celebrity Cruises to celebrate 10 years of charting the archipelagos, and working with author and Celebrity’s superb naturalist, Dr. Ellen Prager this book will be printed in Ecuador by Imprente Marsical in 2014. Published by MANTA Publications.
