From the Little People, Big Dreams book series meet Charles Darwin, the scientist who changed the way people see the world. Although he didn’t do very well at school, Charles Darwin was passionately curious about wildlife, humans, and plants. After a journey to South America, he developed his landmark theory: that all living things are related. Today, he is regarded as one of the most brilliant scientists who ever lived, and a hero to those who dare to think differently.

    What our members say

    A book full of information There’s lots of information in the book and the audio and feely pictures were very interesting alongside the story in braille. As a braillist my pupil enjoyed having both braille and feely pictures and it worked well with our current foundation topics of classification and evolution. Teacher

    It is an interesting story – I learnt lots of fun facts. Pupil
