Congratulations to Gina Newton on the publication of
Hold On! Saving the Spotted Handfish
a non fiction picture book illustrated by Rachel Tribout and published by CSIRO Publishing in October last year.
Surviving since the time of the dinosaurs, the Spotted Handfish was on the brink of extinction. Handstand tells us why, and how science has helped save the day for this quirky and famous little fish that walks but can’t swim.
This book offers a timely tale of hope during Australia’s extinction crisis. Narrator Handstand takes children into the undersea world and shows the inspirational way science helped to save the Spotted Handfish. Includes glossary and conservation timeline; Teacher Notes available.
