A pair of finches from South America blown out to sea in a storm encounter the distant islands of the Galapagos!

It's an environment very different to what they're used to, with many opportunities and challenges to face.

How will their children, grandchildren, and all other future descendants adapt to ensure they find food and thrive in their new home?

Mr Darwin's Birds is a lavishly illustrated story book that seeks to introduce and explore the theory of evolution for young children.

​

Using the arrival of a pair of finches on the Galapagos islands, we see over time how the birds adapt to their new environment. Variations in the next generation's beak shape enable the birds to find new kinds of food in order to thrive in their new home.
