In this cozy bedtime story, follow a child and his grandma through
a winter landscape to explore how the Earth goes to sleep for
winter. Spot the sleeping animals as the tale unfolds, then learn
about their hibernation habits from the information pages at the
end. Co-authors Sean Taylor (picture book author) and Alex Morss
(ecologist, journalist, and educator) offer a gentle introduction
to the concept of hibernation. In the frosty, quiet forest, the
snow blankets the ground and the trees have shed their leaves.
Where have all the animals gone? Are they asleep too? In each
cutaway scene, see what the child cannot - that underground below
his feet are dens with sleeping creatures, and within the hollow
trunks of trees, animals are nesting. After the story, annotated
illustrations explain the hibernation facts for each animal and
what they will do when they wake up for spring. Cozy up as you
expand your and your child's knowledge of the natural world.

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.
