The 'Once Upon a Time' team was founded in 2016 by a group of scientists who want to be listened to. Scientists who want to transfer knowledge as entertainingly and comprehensibly as possible without compromising on accuracy or scientific precision. In 2017, we published a first volume with stories about the threats that the Earth is facing and the amazing secrets it holds for us. The current lust for knowledge and action in environmental matters now provides the perfect backdrop for the launch of our second volume packed full with new fun and factual tales.



Gema Martínez Méndez, Hadar Elyasih



Once upon a time, there was a brave young girl

My life, your life

The goat and the tree

The lonely bacterium and her toxic friends

An oily birthday surprise

Scarlet and the mangroves

Ollin and Phoenix's adventures in the city of corals

Plumi and the chocolate river

A deep-sea adventure in the Mariana Trench

The name's Procavia, Procavia capensis, but call

me Ratiphant

The honey hunter, the bird and the bees

Endangered. But still there is hope
