Gone Forever!

A parent might reach for this book when their child starts asking why there are no more dinosaurs or expresses sadness about endangered animals. "Gone Forever!" gently introduces the scientific concept of extinction, explaining what it is and why it happens. Using accessible examples from the dodo to the mighty T-Rex, the book explores natural causes like asteroid impacts and climate change, as well as human influence. While the topic is inherently sad, the focus remains on scientific discovery and the wonder of learning about Earth's history. For children ages 6 to 8, it is a straightforward and visually supportive primer that opens the door to important conversations about conservation and the cycle of life on our planet.
