In the Sky: Designs inspired by nature - Author Harriet Evans

Where nature leads, innovation follows.
In the Sky: Designs Inspired by Nature invites curious minds to discover how the natural world has shaped some of the most incredible human inventions. From the graceful flight of birds that inspired the Wright brothers to the kingfisher’s beak that influenced Japan’s bullet train, this beautifully illustrated book explores the link between biology and design.

Packed with fascinating facts, vibrant artwork, and surprising connections, this book introduces children to the science of biomimicry through sky-dwelling creatures like bats, bees, birds—and the innovations they’ve inspired in aviation, architecture, and technology.

Why we (and schools) love it:

• Introduces biomimicry and STEAM thinking in an accessible way
• Encourages creative problem-solving and real-world connections
• Inspires awe and respect for the brilliance of the natural world
