Macquarie Island lies in the Southern Ocean, between Antarctica and New Zealand. A speck of green in the vast, windswept sea, it is a haven for many creatures that live above and below the waves.

In One Small Island, Alison Lester and Coral Tulloch bring us the story of this remote and precious World Heritage Site. Together they explore the island's unique geological beginnings, discovery and degradation at the hands of humans, and the battle to restore it today.

Through beautiful illustrations and engaging storytelling, this picture book takes young readers on a journey of discovery to learn about:

*Environmental conservation and protection
*Unique wildlife of Tasmania
*How human activities impact nature
*The importance of preserving habitats
*Collaboration and teamwork

A must-read for young nature enthusiasts and budding environmentalists, One Small Island asks the important question: can Macquarie Island and places like it be saved?
