Lessons From the Animal World, for Younger Readers

Naturalist and author Sy Montgomery adapts her adult memoir into this illustrated picture book, brought to life by artist Rebecca Green. It draws on Montgomery's own encounters with animal teachers, some with two legs, some with four and some with eight, to explore lessons in friendship, compassion and kindness.

Warmly illustrated and gently written, it suits young readers and the adults sharing the story with them, and offers a thoughtful way into talking about empathy for animals.
