Bloomsbury Publishing PLC The Tigers' Tale: A conservation story
Book SynopsisFrom the author of the beautiful Fourteen Wolves comes another incredible true story of rewilding. Perfect for children aged 7+ Magnificent, powerful and mysterious, the tiger is one of the world’s most iconic animals. It is also one of most endangered. For hundreds of years, these exceptional beasts have been hunted, pushing them to the brink of extinction. How can we save them? This compelling tale tells the turbulent true story of the tragic disappearance of tigers from Panna Tiger Reserve in India and, finally, their heroic return. We follow a group of tigers, each with their own individual traits, on their adventures. Together, we learn how the tiger experts introduce tigers to the reserve and track them as they explore, hunt, play, swim, mate and make the forest their home. However, all is not as it seems – and there is danger lurking in the shadows of the emerald forest. With evocative storytelling combined with clear non-fiction information by eco-expert Catherine Barr and lush illustrations by Tara Anand, this story illuminates exactly why tiger conservation is so important. 'Catherine Barr's book reminds us all that the threat of tiger trade still lingers and there is no room for complacency.' EIA (Environmental Investigation Agency)Trade ReviewBrilliant, inspirational and pulls no punches, telling one of the really big conservation stories, The Tigers' Tale is superbly illustrated and wonderfully told. * Tim Birkhead, Author of What it's Like to Be a Bird *The majesty of the tiger has transcended generations and continents, inspiring people from all walks of life to protect, venerate and celebrate the big cat. This beautifully illustrated book will captivate a new generation and impart important lessons learned from the tragic local extinction of the tigers of Panna Tiger Reserve in India. While interventions since mean that tigers once again stalk the emerald forests. Catherine Barr’s book reminds us all that the threat of tiger trade still lingers and there is no room for complacency. * Debbie Banks, Tiger and Wildlife Crime Campaign Leader, Environmental Investigation Agency *Tigers today need all the help they can get. In The Tiger's Tale, the perils of habitat loss and the illegal wildlife trade loom large, but Catherine Barr's charming story and Tara Anand's gorgeous illustrations turn the emerald forest into a place of magic and hope, where the big cats leap off every page and the future is as bright as their burning eyes. * Mike Unwin, Non-Fiction Author behind Migration: Incredible Animal Journeys, Photographer and Illustrator *An extraordinary and hard-hitting story of a species on the brink, which finishes with a message of hope that will galvanise you into action. * Jess French, Author of What a Waste and Lost Species *

A touching picture book jam-packed with fun illustrations, woven together with a message of hope.Trade Review'This is a deceptively powerful message disguised as a simple children's book. Beautifully illustrated, there is a touching depth here we should all take on as we and the Earth emerge from the Coronavirus crisis and look to a better future.' - Chris Knight; 'This book couldn't come at a better time. With the world being bought to its knees by the Covid-19 pandemic, it's hard to know how to talk about what is going with young children. They understand that things are not quite right, but don't always have the maturity to be able to hear what is really happening. ....My children, 6 and 8, immediately understood the concept of this story and felt a strong desire to show even more care towards the earth that we are so lucky to live on. I strongly recommend this to any parent with children pre-school and up. Such a wonderful resource for 'spinning' this whole situation in a positive and reinforcing way.' - Maddy Shaw; 'This clever little book which touches on how the Coronavirus has impacted the environment is one of my favourites. What happens when the earth gets sick? Perhaps it goes to the doctor or even takes a holiday.
