The Females of the Species

  • Helen Baker

An illustrated book of 50 fascinating female animal facts to amaze, inform and inspire curious minds of all ages.

Inspired whilst watching animal and nature documentaries with mytwo sons, I was inspired to find out more about the incredible roles of the females of the species within the animal kingdom (or should that be queendom?).
Discover which female animal gives birth to a baby the same weight as a monster truck and why a female black rhino travels in front of its calf and a white rhino behind it?
This is a passion project I have been working on in my spare time. I've researched and written about 50 different female animals and the amazing things thery do and have started work on the illustrations. I love how the research I've shared with my sons so far has sparked some interesting converstions about gender and equality and it would be great to do the same in other families too.
