A book for children on wild poop? How perfectly, umm, appropriate!
My latest book with WWF India is out folks! The Big Book of Wild Poop takes all the bad words and turns them into lessons in climate change, ecological relations, anecdotes and puns.
The book is peppered with facts, with giggles, with anecdotes and activities and even a superhuman comic character called Superscat who talks science in a nonsensical way.
When my editor from Indian Pitta and Juggernaut, Anita Mani approached me to write this book, I giggled a yes.
To write a science book on the most inappropriate topic.
To tackle stigma head on.
To challenge my writing with a face-off with everything filthy.
And bring out the fun, the humour in everyday messes of life.
Oh, yes. This was meant for me.
It’s the Wild Wild West of Poop
A hilarious science book on wild animal poop and how it cools our climate.
Wild poop stinks.
It’s squishy and filled with icky things like hair, bones and skulls. But in the animal kingdom, scat is way more than undigested remains.
For a deer, poop is social media. To a dung beetle or a worm, it’s a bowl full of multivitamins. Poop is disguise for a spider to escape predators. For a hoopoe, it’s a way to protect her chicks.
One little plop of poop can save our planet and send adults scurrying out of the room with disgust. Now that’s what we call pooptastic. Are you ready to dive (noses pinched shut) into dung?
