Review Quotes:
“Although Expedition to the Galápagos Islands was written by an eight-year-old boy, his understanding of the extraordinary nature of these islands and the lessons to be learned from interactions with their unusual inhabitants is fully realized and thoughtfully written. Grayson’s observations are as keen and insightful as any adult traveler and his travelogue makes for entertaining and valuable reading.”
—Johannah Barry, President, Galápagos Conservancy
“What Grayson Rigby has accomplished in his short amount of years is quite remarkable! The photographs in Expedition to the Galápagos Islands go beyond simple snapshots to show behavior and tell the story of these unique creatures.”
—Jeff Mauritzen, National Geographic Photographer
“A unique perspective on a unique place, Expedition to the Galápagos Islands is a travel and wildlife book with engaging personal stories to capture younger readers’ attentions and enough natural history details to be a true guide to the Islands’ wildlife.”
—Dr. José R. Marín Jarrín, Senior Fisheries Ecologist, Charles Darwin Foundation, Galápagos, Ecuador
