The Big Book of Belonging is for all the children who like to climb
trees, run barefoot, splash in paddles, search for bugs, sing with
the birds, taste snowflakes and count the stars. By placing
children at the heart of the natural world, the book celebrates our
connection with planet Earth and reveals the often surprising
similarities between humans, animals and plants. Illustrated in
Yuval Zommer's inimitable style and packed with quirky natural
history facts, readers will discover that sea otters hold hands
just like humans do; hermit crabs have homes; and that butterflies
also have bedtimes. They'll learn that just as humans have unique
fingerprints, zebras have different stripes, cowrie shells have
distinct spots and that no two snowflakes are identical. The book's
uplifting message will inspire environmentalists young and old
alike - we all belong to nature, and nature belongs to us all.
