'I recommend Heather's book to everyone. It's brilliant!' Dara McAnulty, author of Diary of a Young Naturalist
An entrancing book of exploration, marine life and natural wonders. The British beach is full of creatures that we think we know - from crabs to clams, starfish to anemones. But, in fact, we barely understand how many survive or thrive.
In Rock Pool, the delights of childhood paddling are elevated to oceanic discoveries, as the fragile beauty and drama of intertidal existence is illustrated through the incredible lives of twenty-four individual creatures.
'Three simple steps to help you feel better about the world: read Heather Buttivant's marvellous book, grab a pair of wellies and get yourself to a rocky shore... a thoughtful, enlightening and entertaining read' BBC Wildlife
Heather Buttivant is a writer and educator who specialises in introducing people to the mysterious wildlife beneath the Cornish waves. Her popular blog Cornish Rock Pools won the BBC Wildlife Magazine Blog of the Year Award in 2017 and she has appeared on BBC Countryfile. She has Masters degrees in Professional Writing and Environmental Policy, a tracksuit full of swimming badges and an 'I love sea slugs' t-shirt. When she isn't crawling through seaweed wearing waders or running children's events for Cornwall Wildlife Trust, Heather likes to hide away and write.
