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.
This special book asks children a simple question: How Can We Be
Kind? The answer is: by learning from the animal kingdom! Animals
demonstrate kindness and empathy towards each other, and care and
compassion can be seen all throughout the natural world. This book
shows children the ways they can be kind just like animalsare to
each other, while at the same time teaching them about the magic
and the beauty of the natural world. They can learn to be welcoming
like capybaras, who let other animals sit on top of them while they
wallow in mud. Or perhaps they might want to be like dolphins, who
guide other species to their destinations. Or maybe they would like
to work together like ants and bees, share what they have like
jackdaws or stick up for their friends like zebras. With beautiful
illustrations from Darla Okada, this beautiful picture book will
enchant and entertain children time and time again. There are facts
at the back about how each animal lives with and looks after its
fellow creatures. This sweet and thoughtful book is both a
celebration of the animal world and a manifesto for being kind in
everyday life.
