2025 UPDATE (6 follow-up books!)

Habitats of the World was so well received that Princeton University Press commissioned the authors and me (to illustrate) six more books, each covering a different continent and going into much greater detail compared to the first book. As of spring 2025, two more books are available for purchase; Habitats of Africa and Habitats of North America. In each of the coming years, two more books will be released on Asia, Australia, Europe, and Central/South America.
