How It All Began

A series of interactive painted vignettes exploring the history of our planet.

This illustrated poetic chronicle was created by Stephen Walker.

Conceived out of the desire to share with his grandchildren his enthusiasm for history and the achievements of humanity throughout the ages. "How It All Began" is the last book Stephen created for his grandchildren before passing away in June 2014. While in hospital he asked his son to publish the book in a way that all children would be able to interact with and enjoy.

Stephen Walker was a renown Australian artist, known principally for his sculptural work in bronze which is featured in public and private collections across the globe.
