Discover the surprising ways nature shapes our world
From ice cream to spacecraft, tyres to banknotes — plants are at the root of it all. Things We Make With Plants takes young readers on a fascinating journey through nature, science, and invention, revealing how the materials we use every day are born from the plant world.
Best-selling author and science storyteller Jonathan Drori unravels thirty beautifully told tales showing how humans and plants have evolved together through creativity and curiosity. With exquisite artwork by Raxenne Maniquiz and Jiatong Liu, this book feels like a botanical treasure chest — brimming with colour, discovery, and awe.
