The Big Book of Belonging is a timely celebration of all the ways that
humans are connected to life on planet Earth. With children at the heart
of every beautifully illustrated spread, this book draws parallels
between the way humans, plants, and animals live and behave. We all
breathe the same air and take warmth from the same sun, we grow, we
adapt to the seasons, and we live together in family groups.
Readers will be fascinated to learn that instead of using words to
communicate, fava beans send chemical messages through their roots,
Caribbean reef squid send warnings of danger and even declarations of
love by changing color, and that adorable big-eyed primates called
tarsiers make calls to one another over the noise of the rainforest that
are too high-pitched for predators to hear. By putting children at the
heart of the book's concept, author Yuval Zommer unites readers of the
Big Book series from all corners of the world under one banner--of
belonging to planet Earth. The book's gentle message of caring for
nature will inspire readers of all ages and encourage a new generation
of environmentalists to flourish.
