Summary:
"Albinism is a condition in which there's a lack of pigment in an animal's eyes, skin, scales, or feathers. This condition is genetically transmitted from parent to offspring. Albinism is found in nearly all animal species, including humans, snakes, and beetles. In this book, readers learn what causes albinism, the challenges albino animals face, and why these animals are so special. Fact boxes provide readers with supplementary information to the text, while color photographs capture the readers' attention"-- Provided by publisher.
