Description
A story about the fundamental connection between animals and people and how we can treat all of Earth's creatures with compassion and empathy.
Furry polar bears, playful sea otters, slow sloths, prickly porcupines, and slimy snakes are just a few of the many animals we share our world with. And even though we might not look the same or have the same needs as our animal neighbors, we have more in common with them than we might think. Our Animal Neighbors introduces children to the importance of treating all animals with the care and compassion they deserve. We all want to experience love, safety, and respect and this book is the first step to instilling those values at an early age. This planet is our home, and we should all be free to live a prosperous life regardless of whether we have hands, hooves, scales, or fur.
“A serious message delivered with humor, simplicity, and charm makes this book an excellent purchase for families that value open-ended discussions. Also a good resource for classrooms and libraries that welcome diverse opinions and points of view.”—School Library Journal

Stefanie B, Reviewer
Yes, yes and more yes! I love this book! It so perfectly explains in simple language how animals should not be hurt and exploited and how just like other people, they are our neighbors. As someone who is vegan, involved in both dog rescue and farm animal Sanctuary rescue, I am thrilled to see a book like this!! I volunteer with a farm Sanctuary called Lancaster Farm Sanctuary in Pennsylvania and we sometimes have a storytime where the founders go on Facebook live and read a bedtime story, I would so love to get a copy of this book for them to read to their followers! Please consider seeing all animals as animals who want to love and love. A dog is no different than a cow, they all want to be here and feel love. Thank you again for this great book! The illustrations are amazing!
