Millie Marotta’s Precious Planet

A brand-new coloring collection from bestselling illustrator Millie Marotta, exploring a subject very close to her heart--wildlife conservation.

This beautiful volume features 90 amazing animals from around the world, with a focus on endangered and vulnerable species. Containing a rich mix of wildlife from the adorable axolotl to the much-loved snow leopard, it’s a celebration of creatures that are currently at risk, but that humanity is making efforts to save. Use your pencils or pens to bring colorful life to a wealth of wonderful animals, all rendered in Millie’s exquisitely intricate style, including:

• Big beasts like the Javan rhino, the wild camel, and the elusive mountain gorilla
• Treasures of the sea: the humphead wrasse, the mini blue bee shrimp, and the majestic blue whale
• The insects that pollinate our world, including different bumblebee species and the monarch butterfly
• ＂Lazarus species,＂ thought to be extinct but now discovered in the world, such as the coelacanth and the solenodon, and a few long-extinct and near-mythological animals--the woolly mammoth and the saber-toothed tiger.
