A New York Times Bestseller
School is not the only place to find a teacher. In this beautiful
picture book, learn the many surprising lessons animals have to teach
us about friendship, compassion, and how to be a better creature in the
world.**
Beloved, bestselling author Sy Montgomery, often described as part Emily
Dickinson, part Indiana Jones, has had many teachers in her life: some
with two legs, others with four, or even eight! Some have had fur,
feathers, or hooves. But they've all had one thing in common: a lesson
to share.
The animals Sy has met on her many world travels have taught her how to
seek understanding in the most surprising ways, from being patient to
finding forgiveness and respecting others. Gorillas, dogs, octopuses,
tigers, and more all have shown Sy that there are no limits to the
empathy and joy we can find in each other if only we take the time to
connect.
Based on the New York Times bestselling adult memoir*,* Sy Montgomery
and Rebecca Green's beautiful, friendly guide is for readers young and
old who wish to be better creatures in the world. Go ahead, pass it
on.
