A captivating illustrated introduction to the largest hot desert in the world, the Sahara.

Touching every corner of North Africa is the Sahara Desert, one of the wildest habitats on Earth. This is a land of singing sand dunes, barren plains, mirages and glistening oasis pools. Against all odds, life manages to thrive here. Discover river crocodiles, scorpions and foxes, ancient pharaohs, nomadic tribes and camel caravans. With its scorching hot days and night-times that dip below freezing, the Sahara is a land of extremes, where only the tough survive.
Since the age of five, Christina Webb dreamed of becoming an author. After graduating from the University of Surrey with a BA in English Literature and an MA in Creative Writing, she made that dream a reality. Christina is passionate about representation, and has a soft spot for unusual animals and the ocean. Her clients include Lonely Planet Kids, Penguin Random House, Pan Macmillan and Wide-Eyed Editions. Christina is based in London, and can most likely be found with her head stuck in a book or following her itchy feet to exciting new places.
