For Hamza Yassin, being in nature is about letting your imagination run free. "Let's build a den, let's build a fire, let's climb a tree, let's jump a stream," he says enthusiastically, while talking to The Week Junior Science+Nature.
From a young age, Yassin has been exploring the wonders of nature. Now the naturalist, conservationist and wildlife cameraman has written a book called Hamza's Wild World, which shares his passion for wildlife and also his experiences with dyslexia (a condition that affects the way a person learns). As a child, Yassin would look at a book and "spend a really long time trying to read the information". His new book has a dyslexic-friendly layout, so all children can find out about the natural world.
